Description Alan Olsen 2002-07-19 23:37:52 UTC

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.)

Comment 1 Alan Olsen 2002-07-22 22:39:07 UTC
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.
