As far as I am concerned, changing the layout of the keyboard from "French Alternative" to "French" solves the issue. The difference between the layouts for the space key is that in "French Alternative", it is "nobreakspace".
In fact, the default installation select the "French Alternative" layout when choosing a french keyboard. I think this should be changed in the installer. -- Can't use space bar in search bar when using french alternative keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
