The following list of bugs are all Launchpad bug reports that are the result of xorg-server freedesktop.org bug #865 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 , as linked above):
Bug #36812 Bug #150702 Bug #292260 Bug #303434 Bug #1245473 Bug #1246656 Bug #1671799 Bug #1683383 These all should be a duplicate of bug #36812, which should be reopened. A bit if historical perspective for people who didn't bother to read all of this and #36812 comments: 1. The current behavior of the X.org server - where any shortcut starting with the shift keys used to change layout, is broken and can't be used - is (as claimed by X.org devs) a requirement of the X keyboard extension (XKB). 2. A bug report on the X.org bug tracker (at freedesktop.org) was created at 2004 with a suggested alternative behavior and was followed closely with a patch to the server code. Followed a long discussion where multiple approaches up to and including changing the standard were tried and rejected by the devs. 3. Reports were opened in many distribution-specific bug trackers with requests to carry the patches from the bug report in an out of tree. Most reports were closed as "WONTFIX". 4. On 2011-01-06 a patch was added to the Ubuntu xorg-server 1.9.0.902-1ubuntu4 package for Natty (11.04). Ubuntu was the only distribution (building X.org) that carried a patch to fix this serious issue for consumers. 5. As part of the X.org servre 1.19 release, the original patch carried by Ubuntu since Natty stopped applying cleanly on the code, and on 2017-03-27, as part of the Zesty release, the patch was dropped (this is documented in bug #1671799) - even though an updated patch that applies cleanly on X.org 1.19 was already ready on the bug 865 report. 6. At this point bug #1683383 was created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245473 Title: Binding ctrl+shift, alt+shift, etc for switching keyboard layout makes shortcuts with ctrl+shift, etc not working in any program Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in GNOME Shell: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Fedora: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Tried only with ctrl+shift, maybe behaves the same for other modifier key combinations when used as shortcut for switching layouts. - Set ctrl+shift as shortcut for switching keyboard layouts - Try to use ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+shift+c in Terminal -- it doesn't work (actually Terminal window loses focus when ctrl+shift is pressed, and layout is switched) ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 28 16:40:02 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-23 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1245473/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
