Now, press the Caps Lock key to enable Caps Lock. Press the same key. You should get É What Could Go Wrong ------------------- This fix is included in mutter 45.2 so see the master bug for this upstream update: LP: #2043000 Original bug report ------------------- 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/mutter/+bug/2035076/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
