Description of problem: Shift key does not change capitalization when "Russia Phonetic" layout is selected Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This bug is new in Fedora 8, it does not happen in Fedora 7. It happens in "Russia Phonetic" layout not in "Russia Default" or "U.S. English" How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select "Russia Phonetic" layout using Keyboard Preferences > Layouts dialog. 2. Type anything when this layout selected with and without holding shift key. Actual results: Shift key does not affect capitalization. Expected results: Shift key is expected to flip "Caps Lock" temporarily when held, like it happens in "U.S. English" layout. Additional info: I consider this bug to be important because people outside Russia likely prefer "Russia Phonetic" layout to "Russia Default" where locations of the letters are not intuitive. Perhaps, the easy fix would be to take this layout code from Fedora 7 where it works fine, or to find out why "Russia Default" works but "Russia Phonetic" does not, if I knew how ...
Created attachment 301370 [details] keyboard preferences window I realized that the problems exists when "U.S. English" is the default but not listed first, like on the attached screen capture. In this case, it also brakes copy-paste (via CTRL+C and CTRL+V) in some applications. There are no problems when "U.S. English" layout is listed first.
Tricky problem, but it's xkbcomp's fault. When the second group is initialised, the type for the first group (ALPHABETIC) is overwritten with the default type (ONE_LEVEL), losing the second level. I just pushed a patch upstream that fixes this behaviour [1].

Haven't found this one yet, but I think this may be inside Xlib or the application.

Works fine in xterm, so I guess this may be gtk/gnome related. Adding behdad, maybe he can chime in here.
How does it work in gedit? Is it different from in gnome-terminal?
Ctrl + D in gnome-terminal produces character Ctrl + D in gedit deletes current line

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Bug was fixed in F9. Closing.
