I did a build applying the patch (fortunately no GTK 3 build was required) and I was testing with one offending netbook.
The crash no longer happens when using the patched onboard version, and I noticed that after I ran and added a letter with accent at least once with the patched version, the onboard version from the repositories also works. However, there is a bug where the keyboard layout changes as I write it and some letters add the wrong characters. The attached video shows the problem, notice what happens with the "ç" character. ** Attachment added: "Video showing the keyboard layout problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1809737/+attachment/5303916/+files/newonboard2.mkv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809737 Title: Onboard crashes the entire desktop (Xorg crashes in _XkbSetMapChecks xkb.c:2387) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1809737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
