RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The patch derived from upstream

There is a bug in the upstream xkeyboard-config-2.11 -- three keys in ru(phonetic) layout was changed by a mistake. The wrong change is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=09989fd4b68948be51567b2c78f3ce4e2f75c55c

The bug is fixed in 2.12, see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=e8081e63d7218c267f767f0310e4dc7513ca8643

Whereas this layout might look rare, it is often used by russian natives who leave or work in USA and Europe, where there are normally no any cyrillic letters on most keyboards. After update to RHEL6.6/CentOS6.6 (where xkeyboard-config-2.11 appeared) these people have a huge inconvenience with layout which they used for yeas and which now wrongly changed.

Please, update to 2.12 (or patch properly) as soon as possible.
