This sounds similar to bug #837456, with the new twist of having it happen on modifier presses instead of all keys. Can you confirm the us layout is active after the qwerty switch? $ setxkbmap -query $ setxkbmap -print
Does $ setxkbmap fr fix the problem temporarily? (assuming French keyboard. Change "fr" to whatever keyboard map you actually use.) What version of OS and Onboard are you running? $ cat /etc/issue $ apt-cache policy onboard ** Changed in: onboard (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176819 Title: FR Keyboard layout not retained To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1176819/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
