Description Peter Hutterer 2011-12-22 04:46:52 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #755609 +++

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)

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.

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.
