Public bug reported:
Reproduce:
1. The Ubuntu system default keyboad layout configure to Generic 105-key (Intl)
PC
this can be done with
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
You can verify if the setting is in effect by typing AltGr + e and you
should key in 'é'. You should be able to get this behaviour even in the
console (Ctrl+Alt+F1).
(The Alt key right to the space bar, even if it is just labeled Alt, it
is AltGr in effect)
2. run ibus-setup and check the checkbox "Use System Keyboard", it is on
the last tab.
3. reboot and login, and type AltGr + e, you just get plain e, not 'é'
and you don't get 'é' even if you have switched away from input method
(typically by tapping left shift key a single time.)
Expected:
3. once the setting is in effect, AltGr + e should produce 'é' when
i-bus is active.
Workaround:
Not any workaround found. I tried to load a "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC"
layout with /usr/bin/xmodmap, and this method works when I am not in
Gnome (in fluxbox) and ibus is not activated, but it has no effect when
ibus is activate.
Why this issue is important:
For example, a German who can do Chinese would naturally wish to use his
familiar German keyboard layout without havin to switch off ibus-table.
So does every user of non-English keyboard layout.
