keyboard layout preferences
The "France (Obsolète) Autre" layout is automatically added every time I login in and. It's the default layout when using French keyboard.
I have added the "France" and "Grèce" layouts, xsane works fine with both layouts. However I am unable to make either of them my default layout, Gnome keeps starting with the default "France (Obsolète) Autre" layout.
Some notes: * I see the problem when setting the keyboard to German (whatever version) in Gnome. Switching to US keyboard layout everything is fine * Generally the phenomenon is exactly like outlined here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/370818 (except that the problem only shows up with German keyboard layout), probably the same patch can be applied ? **On this page some guys state, that it has to do with an Nvidia driver. I don't think so, because it also happens on a remote display with a SIS chip, and also happens in VNC, i.e. without a Graphics hardware involved visible to the X client (xsane). **Someone else states, that with reinstallation the problem disappears. I upgraded to FC14 including latest patches (including xsane-0.998-1) and it did not help. * I don't think, that the problem is Gnome- or X11-related, because any other application works ok selecting areas using the mouse (e.g. Openoffice-Draw, Gimp, ImageMagick) * The frame can actually be moved being patient: When clicking very close to a visible frame or corner with the arrow cursor being visible, the frame boundary moves the few pixels under the pointer. This way the selected area can be changed as a workaround. * The problem appeared already in fc12 with xsane 0.997 This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping While I couldn't reproduce this (why ever), I've looked at the patch in the launchpad bug and it seems to be a legit fix. I'll make a build with it and send the fix to upstream. xsane-0.998-4.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xsane-0.998-4.fc14 D'oh. Built but forgot to submit the update. Sorry! xsane-0.998-4.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xsane-0.998-4.fc15 xsane-0.998-4.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xsane-0.998-4.fc13 Package xsane-0.998-4.fc14: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xsane-0.998-4.fc14 then log in and leave karma (feedback). xsane-0.998-4.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.
