Public bug reported:
I own lenovo z50 and recently installed 16.04 LTS. I use ubuntu in Hindi
language. The following issue was also noticed in ubuntu 14.04LTS and
later releases (although I did not file any bug for it).
Unity dash window (which comes after pressing Super key) does not take
input from several keyboard layouts. "Indian" keyboard layout is used
for Hindi language. When I type in unity dash to search for applications
or files, it will not register any input whatsoever. However, it works
fine when "English (US)" or "English (India)" keyboard layouts are
selected.
"Indian" keyboard layout inputs fine in any other editor or wherever
keyboard input is required.
I digged down further and found several language layouts face the same
problem. These include "arabic", "armenian", "bangla", "georgian",
"gujarati", "greek", "hebrew", "iraqi", "malayalam", "mongolian",
"oriya", "punjabi (gurumukhi)", "tamil" and "telugu". Many of these are
layouts for indian languages but few are not. This is not exhaustive
list and I only checked few languages at hand.
These keyboard layouts come installed by default with standard ubuntu
installation.
As many applications come renamed in Hindi, it is impossible to search
them currently in Unity dash as it doesnt take Hindi input at all.
I tried to file bug via ubuntu-bug or apport-bug but did not succeed,
hence filing a bug here. I would be happy to attach any other
information required for this.
