Description Karthick Tharakraj 2011-01-19 10:04:10 UTC

Description of problem:
The keyboard layout switch does not work when gnome-keyboard-properties has only USA and China.  If you try switch using the Alt+Shift or Shift+CapsLock or Ctrl+Shift keys, the keyboard layout switch indicator does not change.  However if we add only layout, then using any of the keyboard switch keys the layout changes.  If we remove the added keyboard layout and we retain just USA and China the issue persists.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control center 2.30.1-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start System->Preferences->Keyboard
2. Click on Layouts
3. Ensure that layout added are just USA and China (Chinese/China)
4. Use the keyboard switch keys configured for your machine. Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift or Shift+Capslock
  
Actual results:
The keyboard layout does not switch or toggle.  Even the keyboard layout indicator on the status bar does not switch or toggle.

Expected results:
The keyboard layout switches / toggles between USA and China

Additional info:
I observe that imsettings-daemon or gconf-settings-daemon does not show any read sys call with strace and keyboard layout switch keys pressed.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2011-05-30 11:48:51 UTC

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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 12:30:30 UTC

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
