Public bug reported:
1. In Region & Language settings, add a keyboard layout that contains RTL
characters and uses AltGr, e.g. "Arabic (QWERTY)" or "Indonesian (Arab Melayu,
ext. phonetic)".
2. Open the keyboard layout window by pressing the eye icon.
Expected: on each key, the corresponding characters are displayed:
- (A) without modifier: bottom left
- (B) with Shift: top left
- (C) with AltGr: bottom right
- (D) with Shift+AltGr: top right
Actual: there are keys which contain overlapping character, (A) and (B)
are rendered on the right side, overlap (C) and (D) respectively.
I've seen the source code somewhere in the past, it seems the text area
for (A) and (B) fill the key width. It's okay when the text of (A) and
(B) are short and LTR. However, if (A) or (B) are RTL, it is right
aligned so it takes (C) or (D) place. So a simple fix probably by
reducing (A) by half of the key width if there's (C) for that key, and
so for (B) and (D).
