ThinkPad keyboard layout view nearly all black
Last modified: 2008-05-21 02:13:42 EDT
Description of problem: My keyboard model is set (using gnome-keyboard-properties) to "IBM ThinkPad 560Z/600/600E/A22E", with the "U.S. English" layout. If I use the keyboard indicator applet's "Show Current Layout" menu item, the keyboard layout view is almost completely black. Only the row of function keys and a few others are shown. I see the same issue if I click "Add..." in the "Layouts" tab of gnome-keyboard-properties. If the keyboard model is "IBM ThinkPad 560Z/600/600E/A22E", then no matter which layout and variant I select, most of the keyboard preview is just black. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.20.0-8.fc8 xkeyboard-config-1.1-3.fc8 How reproducible: 100% reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gnome-keyboard-properties 2. Select the "Layouts" tab. 3. Click "Choose" to change the keyboard model. 4. Choose vendor IBM, model "IBM ThinkPad 560Z/600/600E/A22E". 5. Back in the "Layouts" tab of the main dialog, click "Add..." to select a layout 6. Observe that the layout preview is nearly all black. 7. Add the "Keyboard Indicator" applet to your panel. 8. Choose "Show Current Layout" from this applet's popup menu. 9. Observe again that the layout view is nearly all black. Actual results: Most of the keyboard layout view is solid black instead of showing keys. Expected results: The keyboard's entire layout should be visible. Additional info:

For what it's worth, this problem no longer appears under Fedora 9: gnome-applets-2.22.1-2.fc9.i386 xkeyboard-config-1.2-3.fc9.noarch I guess I'll resolve this as CURRENTRELEASE, assuming I have permission to do so.
