Bug ID: 429122
Summary: Alt+key disabled in main layout when adding secondary
layout that has 'grave'
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: darkst...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In Plasma, when I add a second layout the layout that containts 'grave' as the
secondary symbol in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ then while in the first layout
pressing alt+(the key that contains grave in the second layout) no longer
registers, so even when testing with 'xev' pressing the alt+key will not
register a KeyPress event, only a KeyRelease event. Removing the secondary
layout or removing the 'grave' from the symbols definition in the
aforementioned directory will make the Alt+key work again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add Arabic as Secondary Layout
2. While in primary English layout run Xev to test key presses
3. Press Alt+u in xev.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Keypress of Alt+u will not be registered.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Keypress of Alt+u should be registered.
