RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Nenad Peric 2011-11-21 15:23:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

In KDE, the keyboard selection for input when chosen Serbian, does not show any Cyrillic layout present. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdebase-4.3.4-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to reproduce:

- Go to System Settings
- Choose Regional & Language
- Switch to Keyboard layout
- add Serbian from the list

  
Actual results:

In the Layout variant drop-down list no Cyrillic exists, only:

Default
Latin
Latin Unicode
Latin qwerty
Latin Unicode qwerty
With guillemets
Latin with guillemets
Z and ZHE swapped


Expected results:

In the Layout variant drop-down list no Cyrillic exists, only:

Default
Cyrillic
Cyrillic, Z and ZHE swapped
Cyrillic with guillemets
Latin
Latin Unicode
Latin qwerty
Latin Unicode qwerty
Latin with guillemets

(it is correct in the layout for Montenegro (me)
Comment 1 Nenad Peric 2011-11-21 15:47:23 UTC 
Found that both in gnome and KDE the same is reproducible. 

The above description is from KDE.
Comment 2 Nenad Peric 2011-11-21 15:50:04 UTC 
Grrr in expected results I have a copy/paste mistake (sorry)..

Just ignore the sentence: 
" In the Layout variant drop-down list no Cyrillic exists, only: " 
in the part with expected results, the text below it with expected layout is OK.
Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2011-12-06 19:54:13 UTC 
This is almost certainly not in xserver.  Suspect it's in xkeyboard-config.

The default variant for Serbian seems to be cyrillic (unlike the default for Montenegro). Is this not correct? My knowledge of Serbian is rather limited.
Comment 5 Nenad Peric 2011-12-14 10:11:32 UTC 
The default writing in both Montenegro and Serbia (the official state-used) is Cyrillic, but for IT it is quite OK to leave Latin variant as default, since Latin writing is widely used as well. 

It's needed to make a list of offered keyboard layouts clearly marked - so that is visible which is Cyrillic and which Latin. 
Currently it is not so. 


The choice (list) of available layouts should look something like this:

Default
Latin
Latin Unicode
Latin qwerty
Latin Unicode qwerty
Latin with guillemets
Cyrillic
Cyrillic, Z and ZHE swapped
Cyrillic with guillemets

The order is not really so important I believe, and the default can be left as Latin if it is so now.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for

ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
