I experience the same symptoms. I was not able to test it on 8.10 because my USB keyboard was not around. I'm running 9.04 now and ever since I started using my USB keyboard again, I've had this issue. I believe the issue was absent in 8.04 but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Here is an symptom I've noticed but which I think has not been reported yet. I've set hitting "Left Shift" and "Right Shift" together a hot key to toggle the keyboard layout, but: 1. If I hit the hot key on the USB keyboard, it is ignored. 2. If I hit the hot key on the internal laptop keyboard when the USB keyboard is plugged in, the keyboard layout applet switches between "USA" and "??" instead of "USA" and "CAN". -- Second keyboard layout can't be selected after suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
