I can confirm this bug. It is causing me to pull my hair out at times. I have had situations where I turned off the Caps Lock key during the interval where the bug had goofed up my settings, causing my system to be in Caps Lock mode with no way to turn it off. That necessitating rebooting the computer, because I had no way to re-log in (due to case sensitive passwords). And I keep worrying that I'm going to get stuck with an unknown keyboard layout while logged out, causing me to be completely unable to log in at all.
Possibly related: the Keyboard setting in Linux Mint is persistently detecting my keyboard as Japanese layout, even when I delete "Japanese" from the list of options. So not only is it ignoring my carefully curated xkb settings (and, perhaps needless to say, my xmodmap preferences), it is deciding to set its own keyboard layout. This is a huge bug. Please, please, someone fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944468 Title: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/944468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
