I've realized, that on computer with working backslash I have set up US layout as first and on the other comptuter is first layout czech, so I tested on each computer with first layout set to both "cz" and "us" (in rescue xterm to avoid any interference by Gnome). The result is, that backslash works properly only if "us" layout is set up as first, if "cz" layout is first, the key "forgets to switch itself to us layout". I've upgraded the computer where backslash worked properly to gutsy in meanwhile and behaviour is still the same.
Steps to reproduce on any feisty or gutsy installation: 1. set keyboard layout this way: Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle" 2. run plain X (e.g. gdm, rescue xterm). Backslash key next to enter types "\" and "|" characters in us layout and dead "¨" and "'" in czech layout (you can switch layouts by pressing both shifts at once). 3. change XkbLayout to "cz,us", restart X 4. Backslash key is "stuck" and produces dead "¨" and "'" characters regardless of actual layout. Both tested computers are notebooks. One install is feisty, another gutsy, so I can confirm it on both 2.6.20 kernel + X.org 7.2 and 2.6.22 kernel and X.org 7.3. It doesn't matter if you test on integrated keyboard or external USB one. If is information still incomplete, I will attach hardware information for all the notebooks. ;-) -- Broken "us" layout on some installations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
