We currently don't have any explicit criterion that mandates that keyboard layouts choose in the installer should work in the installed system. As a maintainer of one of the packages involved there (system-setup-keyboard) I see such bugs in basically every release, during the development cycle.
We should pay more attention to such issues as a system that uses a different keyboard layout as the one physically present can not only be very annoying (we shouldn't release in that state) but can be useless when you have special characters in your password(s). (Can't easily decrypt / login). As seen in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-March/097859.html we do currently have a paragraph that mentions this but is IMO way to vague. So I propose something like: "The keyboard layout selected in the installer must be in use after rebooting the installer (plymouth and X)". -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
