** Description changed: - Binary package hint: rhythmbox + [Impact] + In the fr(oss) keymap, both space and Ctrl + space return the same XLookupString, which prevents space from being used in some applications. - I tried to search for "The Do" in the search bar, but the space bar - didn't write a space. Instead, it played the currently selected song - (space is the shortcut for playing/pausing the song). I've just - installed the last Hardy release candidate. + This had been fixed in lucid and maverick, but the patch appears to have + been misplaced during the (rather major) update from 1.8 to 2.1, thus + the reports of it regressing in comments #135 and #141, as well as dupe + bug #938671. + + [Development Fix] + Patch 128_fix_oss_ctrl_space_accelerator.patch fixed this problem in lucid and maverick, but was dropped in natty when we updated to upstream xkeyboard-config 2.1. However, the patch was also sent upstream and accepted there. So for quantal a cherrypick of that commit was backported. + + [Stable Fix] + Since currently quantal is shipping the same xkeyboard-config version as precise, we can carry the same patch there as well. + + [Test Case] + 1. Set keyboard to fr(oss). (Note due to unrelated bug, you need to do this in your /etc/defaults/keyboard config file.) + 2. Start rhythmbox + 3. Do a song search + 4. Type in a search term that includes a space character + + Broken Behavior: Space triggers the play/pause function in rhythmbox + Fixed Behavior: A space character is inserted + + [Regression Potential] + The patch is one we carried in lucid and maverick (when rhythmbox was the default music player IIRC), and has been upstream for a while. So I think it is a safe change. + + Actually, I'm surprised there have not been more complaints about it + lately. But during the interim we'd switched to banshee so perhaps + users didn't notice it. + + [Original Report] + I tried to search for "The Do" in the search bar, but the space bar didn't write a space. Instead, it played the currently selected song (space is the shortcut for playing/pausing the song). I've just installed the last Hardy release candidate.
