From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: There is a strange interaction between xkb and emacs in Red Hat Linux 9.0 " (ASCII 34) is not outputted correctly, instead I get this � (ASCII 168) strange character. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ??? (the one shipped with RHL9) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setxkbmap us_intl 2. start emacs 3. try to type " (space + ") Actual Results: � is written in emacs Expected Results: " is expected Additional info: This is very annoying since I can't really use a emacs to program. It only applies to emacs not run in a gnome-terminal (with -nw)
Sorry, I am not clear on what you're inputting. You just press '"' (doublequote) and you get you get (ascii 168) instead. Do you get the same when you set a plain us (non-intl) keyboard with xkb? How about in other apps? xemacs for example?
Well, with us_intl you have dead keys, so it's not actually pressing the same button (") as in normal us layout, it also involves pressing space afterwards. All other apps except gtk+2 based one. So I guess this might be the wrong component.
Re-assigning to XFree86 component.
If you think this is an XFree86 bug, please report directly to XFree86.org at http://bugs.xfree86.org If it is an X bug, it will likely be fixed within a week by reporting it there. If that occurs, I will investigate it for future erratum. If you do report it upstream, please provide upstream bug report URL here and I will track and contribute to it upstream.
