Reporter, could you please try to reproduce in Ubuntu 10.04? The problem you describe is quite strange and I cannot think of a reason why this should happen. Most probably the cause relates to interaction with other keyboard layout software (such as SCIM).
As there has not been activity in this report for a long time, I will close it. If you can replicate the problem with Ubuntu 10.04, please open a new bug report. For Japanese, you may use the simple keyboard layout from the Keyboard preferences, or you can use the advanced keyboard layout from 'IBus' (see System/Preferences/IBus Preferences). ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- keyboard layout switch in gnome results in dead keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301137 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
