Same as Philippe. I forgot to mention that this is the output when the search in Rhythmbox works. Here is the result if I switch back to the default option (but still using "French Alternative" layout). So that Rhythmbox's search doesn't work anymore and, as you can see, the space in Ctrl+Space is a space:

If you select the default keyboard layout option (the bug case), Ctrl+Space send a "20" event. -- 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
