Public bug reported:
Affects:
* Ubuntu 19.04 amd64 Desktop installer (main flavour, UEFI booted)
Does not affect:
* Ubuntu 18.04.2 amd64 Desktop installer (main flavour, UEFI booted)
When installing on 19.04, keeping the default English installer language, but
setting the keyboard layout to German -> German, I can use my German keyboard
to type special characters such as "ö" and "ß" just fine on the "Type here to
test you keyboard" input field.
However, continuing with these choices does not seem to apply them
during the installer / live session. By the time the installer reaches
the "Who are you?" screen, the keyboard layout is reset to US-English,
so typing the "ö" character on my keyboard produces a ";" character on
screen.
This behaved differently on 18.04.2. There, if a non-US-English keyboard
layout was chosen on the respective installation step, this setting
would prevail until and after the "Who are you?" screen, so entering a
full name and passwords containing special characters from the localized
keyboard layout is possible (I just tested this).
This issue *may* be what also causes what is described in bug 1826409.
