Description Karl Magnus Kolstø 2009-04-02 09:00:20 UTC

Description of problem:
Deadkeys in Norwegian Nynorsk language setting doesn't work properly.

Deadkeys doesn't work as they should under KDE using nynorsk (Norwegian Nynorsk)
language settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libX11-1.1.5-2 (or earlier)

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose "Norsk (nynorsk)(Noreg)"(Norwegian Nynorsk) as language
2. Log in using KDE (should also be possible to see with kde-programs under gnome too)
3. Start e.g kile, konquorer or other kde program (also easily seen with xterm under kde)
4. In some text box/text input mode try to type é, õ or similar combined characters (é being ' + e and õ being ~ + o )
if you get two characters as an output and not the combined, that is an error.
  
Actual results:
'e  ~o

Expected results:
é õ

Additional info:
In the file /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir you have the following;
$ grep ny_NO /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir
iso8859-1/Compose		ny_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose		ny_NO.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8/Compose		ny_NO.UTF-8
iso8859-1/Compose:		ny_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose:		ny_NO.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8/Compose:		ny_NO.UTF-8

and these
$ grep nn_NO /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir
iso8859-1/Compose		nn_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose		nn_NO.ISO8859-15
iso8859-1/Compose:		nn_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose:		nn_NO.ISO8859-15

and also these (for Norwegian Bokmål)
$ grep nb_NO /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir
iso8859-1/Compose		nb_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose		nb_NO.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8/Compose		nb_NO.UTF-8
iso8859-1/Compose:		nb_NO.ISO8859-1
iso8859-15/Compose:		nb_NO.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8/Compose:		nb_NO.UTF-8


According to several people I have talked to (also people doing lots of Norwegian translations of Free Software)  ny_NO is *NOT* a proper language code for norwegian nynorsk.  nn_NO *IS* the proper code.

When editing /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir, basically commenting out all
ny_NO entries and adding the two UTF-8 entries for nn_NO the deadkeys started
to work as expected.

Hope this can be fixed soon.
