Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.30.2-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
When changing keyboard layout in a gnome session, the first-level key map (keys used without modifiers or with shift) is correctly updated but not the other levels (keys used in conjunction with ctrl, alt, ...) Here is a procedure to reproduce the bug: - start a gnome session, - start a gnome-terminal, - type a few character at the terminal prompt, - type ctrl-a in the terminal, it goes to the beginning of the line, as expected - in the system preferences, keyboard, general, choose a different, keyboard layout than the one selected (typically switch from azerty to qwerty or from some azerty to some qwerty keyboard), - type again a few characters at the terminal prompt: the "a" now correctly writes "q" since key "a" is now bound to "q", - but if one types ctrl-a in the terminal, it goes to the beginning of the line as if it were a true ctrl-a, while it should send a ctrl-q since "a" is now bound to "q". This is problematic when one uses several keyboards with different layout, and I guess it would also be problematic when switching from regular layout to dvorak. After the keyboard layout is switched, restarting gnome-terminal does not fix the ctrl and alt maps. However, if one restarts the gnome session, then the ctrl and alt maps get ok. So it might be related also to the communication between gnome and gnome-terminal?? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-terminal-data 2.30.2-1 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1+b1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libvte9 1:0.24.3-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii gvfs 1.6.3-1 userspace virtual filesystem - ser ii yelp 2.30.1+webkit-1 Help browser for GNOME gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
