Today I have updated the details of this bug report. After the 23.10 has been definitely released I went to a fresh installation in a different partition and realized that there were no problems with accented capital letters during the live session. So I thought the problem could be related to X11/wayland sessions. In fact running the xlsclients I could see that the problem doesn't effect softwares that use xwayland .
Previous bug description and details were pointing the gnome-text-editor package, which is the first software that showed that problem. Now the report is pointing to the wayland package... NOT sure this is 100% correct but the issue should be more related to that area. EDIT: ok, just seen the package has been switched from wayland to gtk3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2035076 Title: Wayland - Capital accented letters not recognized Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Most programs don't recognize Italian accented capital letters. When "Caps Lock" is on àèìòù should be written as ÀÈÌÒÙ... but for some reasons they are not capitalized. I've noticed that everything works fine using the Live session which still uses X11 session. It looks there's no problem with programs that use xwayland like Gimp and MarkText. WORKAROUND =========================== In "Settings -> Keyboard" it's possible to set a "compose key". For example I've selected the [Super left] key. If I want to compose È I press and immediately release each key: [Super left] + [E] + [Alt Gr] + ['] If you want É: [Super left] + [E] + ['] Do the same for the other vowels. =========================== ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.10 Package: gnome-text-editor 45~beta-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.3.0-7.7-generic 6.3.5 Uname: Linux 6.3.0-7-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.27.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Sep 11 11:48:41 2023 InstallationDate: Installed on 2023-09-07 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 23.10 "Mantic Minotaur" - Daily amd64 (20230906.3) ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: gnome-text-editor UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/2035076/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
