From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020327 Description of problem: If I am in bash, I cannot enter in a quote (single or double) that the system will interpret as a quote mark. The first time I enter a quote, nothing happens. If I hit another quote, I get that quote mark. If I hit another character, i get an accented character. This occurs when I am running vi and/or pico as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a quote in bash. Nothing happens. 2. Enter a quote again. Get a quote. 3. Run the php script or web pages I am working on and watch it cvomplain about the bogus quote marks. Actual Results: I get an invalid quote mark. Expected Results: I should have gotten a valid quote mark. (Or actually two of them if I hit the key twice.) Additional info:
Found what caused this. Not certain if it was my fault or Redhat's installer. In /etc/X11/XF86Config, "XkbLayout" was set to "us_intl" instead of "us". Fixing that solved the problem. If other people report this, then it is a bug. If not, then it is not a bug.
