control-center-2.22.0-3.fc9.i386 The layout editor features a picture of a keyboard, but it is too small to be useful. None of the keys are visible. The window size should be bigger by default to make this image useful.
This is some initialization issue. Selecting a layout from the initially unset combo boxes fixes the display.
Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521005
I don't think this is the same as that upstream bug. The upstream bug says "the window that opened was totally empty, which looked weird, especially in the place where the keyboard layout is supposed to be drawn". This bug says "The layout editor features a picture of a keyboard, but it is too small to be useful." I can reproduce *this* bug (the default size of the window [670 x 350, specified in gnome-keyboard-properties.glade] is too small for the keyboard drawing to actually be useful), but not the upstream one.
It is not the same as the upsteam bug.
I'm sorry. But I am seeing the upstream bug on my system, not this other bug you are describing here...
I believe my problem was related to the "ghost group" that we've worked around recently. I cannot reproduce the "too small keyboard" problem unless I get the "?" in the keyboard indicator.
I can't reproduce this with trying either. Is the reporter still seeing it?
How can I test this? I have resized the window and it (presumably) remembers my setting. Is the default keyboard image size now bigger?
It sounds like its fixed and I haven't seen any more reports (and tried for a while longer today)
