Description of problem: The Single quote and double quote key is not functioning correctly, It is outputting an incorrect single quote and double quote character that is not understood by the shell. For example I was editing the .bashrc file from a tutorial at linux.org (http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l6/lesson6a.html) Their example file # my personal aliases alias cp='cp -v -i' alias rm='rm -i' alias mv='mv -i' works fine when inserted into the bashrc file opened using gedit and saved. I did source .bashrc and the file was updated no errors. But when using the current character assosciated with my single quote key it complains. eg. # my personal aliases alias cp=´cp -v -i´ alias rm=´rm -i´ alias mv=´mv -i´ [flebber@localhost ~]$ source .bashrc bash: alias: -v: not found bash: alias: -i´: not found bash: alias: -i´: not found bash: alias: -i´: not found That is the single quote character is not recognised. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora core 6 How reproducible: I am using the Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Single Quote not recognised by the shell. Unable to create or run scripts Expected results: Shell should recognise character. Additional info: This exact keyboard and setup was working in Fedora Core 5. I have tried the US English Alternative Layout and the US English International (with dead keys) Layout.
Both Keyboard layout displays show the quote to be in the correct position on the keyboard. It is just the outputted character that is causing the issue.

Reset all config to defaults. Character output still incorrect.
