Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
Since the last upgrades (the ones that caused bug #255008 and bug
#255372) my japanese keyboard is not behaving properly, there are some
missing keys in the layout.
The symbols that do not work and used to work before the latest upgrades
are ']' and '}' (which in the japanese keyboard are in the same key),
and the key for '\' and '_' (underscore, one key again).
It still works fine in the console, and it used to work fine in hardy
with the appropriate xorg.conf. (The yen key has always been kind of
borken too, but that's a different bug, and not a regression like this).
The relevant section of xorg.conf that used to work fine before:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "jp106"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp,jp"
Option "XkbVariant" "106,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
A simple way to see that something is broken (some keys are missing) is
when I try to add a japanese layout, attached goes a screenshot of that.
Notice that there is no key for ']', '}', which in the japanese keyboard
are on the same key (you use shift to select '}'), and take half of the
space assigned to 'Return' in the attached layout. Similarly for '\',
'_', this key should be taking half of the space assigned to 'Shift_R'.
