Is this a problem.

I have setup my F18 with English. Subsequently I added the Canadian French keyboard and deleted the English keyboard from the list. Ergo, I use only one keyboard on the system, corresponding to the markings on the  pc105 phyical one, but using the Canadian French mappings.

But if there us a "timeout-lock user account" or a sudo request for a password, all entries are refused. I am presenting this information here, because this problem is not addressed as of 19 November 2012, and I know the beta freeze will be out next week.

I am doing daily system updates to determine if the problem is resolved.
Is it a keyboard problem or another problem such as the routine to accept a password during an active user session.

Appears resolvd with Beta TC9
