Description

Found that both in gnome and KDE the same is reproducible. The above description is from KDE. 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. This is almost certainly not in xserver. Suspect it's in xkeyboard-config. (In reply to comment #0) > 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 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. 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.
