@Daniel: affects 22.04 and 22.10 as well. Behavior additionally regressed in the way, that it is now impossible to access those characters, since the popup of the characters is hidden in the background and when trying to write "ü" by long pressing "u", the popup appears in the background and on releasing the finger, "u" is written in the input field.
Affects all kind of gnome shell password dialogs, e.g. when connecting to wifi etc. This makes Ubuntu / Gnome-Shell in Tablet much less powerful, I hope I can bring this to your attention. Would be great if you could either look into this yourself or use your reputation upstream to convince someone else to look into this. It especially hurts in 22.10, since the osk got a lot more useful in Gnome-Shell 43 by also exposing up keys and modifiers for terminal to make it more useful. This bug here is the only osk bug missing to really make the tablet mode experience nice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922559 Title: osk: umlauts do not work in password prompts Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: When I try to input a german umlaut like "ü" in a gnome-shell password prompt using the onscreen keyboard, nothing appears in the input field. In regular applications like gedit umlauts work however, so it seems to be specific to password prompts. Couldn't find anything interesting the the journalctl log, only messages related to gnome-shell at the time of trying to input the umlaut are: Apr 05 14:41:24 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Loading…")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:first-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.38.4-1ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 5.11.11+ x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu61 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Mon Apr 5 14:24:19 2021 DisplayManager: gdm3 RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.4-1ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1922559/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
