Hello, The bug is really very easy to reproduce.Just go to system->preferences->keyboard and choose layout. Choose a couple like: "USA International (Alt Gr Dead Keys)" and "Bulgaria Traditional Phonetic". Then log out and log back in again. A third keyboard "USA Alternative International (former us_intl)" mysteriously appears. This stupid layout that pops up is hardly "international". You can't even type German. And what's worse, it screws up the other two layouts.
