Description madstitz 2015-11-24 21:25:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Running keepass under gnome-wayland-session (thus xwayland), when trying to enter an @-symbol in the master password field (using the 'alt gr + q' combo on my german layout), nothing is displayed. Other keys register just fine.
Switching my keyboard layout to standard-us allows me to enter the symbol using the 'shift+2' combo.
Note that in the main keepass ui, the @-symbol works just fine using the german layout (for example in the search field).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.30

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start keepass under gnome-wayland-session, keyboard layout set to german
2. open database
3. try to enter an @-symbol in the password field using 'alt gr + q'

Actual results:
the letter is not accepted as input

Expected results:
the letter is accepted like every other

Additional info:
I suspect this to be an issue with the 'us' keyboard layout, as it doesn't have a scancode for the 'alt gr + q' key combo (us-international has one).

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:42:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 16:14:50 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
