The keyboard layout options (e.g., “Compose key position” or “Numeric keypad layout selection”) have no effect. They worked fine with Fedora 16 (and earlier), but they stopped working after upgrading to Fedora 17. I have tried both with the Spanish and the US layout, and the problem happens with both. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set any layout option (for example, put the compose key in the caps lock position) 2. Try it Actual results: Doesn't work (in the example, caps lock is activated) Expected results: Should work (in the example, caps lock is not activated and you can type a compose sequence like “ae” to obtain “æ”). Additional info: I have tried a number of things, and there are two observations that may be relevant: 1 - Running “system-config-keyboard” and selecting anything (for example, the same layout as selected in control-center) fixes the problem until the next reboot (or until something changes in control-center). It seems that system-config-keyboard is doing something that control-center should do but doesn't. 2 - After that, if the (USB) keyboard is unplugged and plugged again, the problem reappears.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
