Description Mike FABIAN 2022-04-14 15:16:39 UTC

Searching for “italian” shows stuff completely unrelated to Italian

Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-20220216.n.0.iso installed in qemu-kvm
gnome-control-center-42.0-3.fc36.x86_64

When searching for input sources in the gnome-control-center keyboard tab, lots of unrelated matches show up.

For example, when searching for “italian”, the results contain matches like

   “German (Belgium)”
   “Slovak”

and lots of other stuff which has nothing to do with Italian. See the attached screenshot.

The same happens for almost all other languages as well,
Searching for “german” for example shows 

   “Russian (Ukraine)”
   “Turkish (Cyprus)”
   ...

Only for very few languages like Japanese and Korean it seems to work and shows only matches related to the search.

Comment 1 Mike FABIAN 2022-04-14 15:28:38 UTC
This problem existed already in Fedora 35.

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2022-09-07 08:42:35 UTC
I can reproduce this in Fedora 37 when selected "Marathi" language and tried to see the only other Marathi language keymaps there. Other language keymaps are appearing.

Comment 3 Mike FABIAN 2022-09-07 09:04:16 UTC
The problem exists for me as well unchanged in Fedora 37, when I search for “italian” I still get exactly the same nonsensical results as on F36.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2022-09-19 05:58:29 UTC
Could we report this upstream, please?

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 17:01:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 6 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 16:41:58 UTC
Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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