** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: xorg
+ [Impact]
+ The default Czech keyboard layout does not provide mappings for several keys
commonly found on actual Czech keyboards. Pressing these keys on the keyboards
generally results in incorrect or no symbols being printed.
- When I press certain keys, I expect I'll get the keys on the keyboard in
- my layout, I get bad ones instead though. Even when it is the right
- keystrokes that work well even in Windows and on Mac, even the symbols
- are printed on the keyboard. This needs to be patched. Problem is the
- symbols are mapped on different keys, some symbols have been duplicated.
- Maybe new keyboard layout should be made, some users sure used to this
- "buggy" layout. I made a new one where all errors I've found are already
- corrected. I attach new layout in the patchfile.
+ [Development Fix]
+ In xkeyboard-config 2.5, which we're shipping in Precise, two patches were
introduced to add the missing key definitions.
+
+ [Stable Fix]
+ The two patches apply cleanly to 2.3. I've merged them into a single patch
to make the changes easier to review and track.
+
+ [Text Case]
+ 1. Attach a Czech keyboard
+ 2. Press the keys uring, uacute, parenright, iacute, eacute.
+ Broken Behavior: Symbols not matching what's printed on the keys are
displayed
+ Fixed Behavior: Symbols matching the keys are displayed
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This is a very safe fix. The change alters only the Czech keyboard
configuration file, and only adds key definitions; no existing keys change
behavior.
+
+ [Original Report]
+ When I press certain keys, I expect I'll get the keys on the keyboard in my
layout, I get bad ones instead though. Even when it is the right keystrokes
that work well even in Windows and on Mac, even the symbols are printed on the
keyboard. This needs to be patched. Problem is the symbols are mapped on
different keys, some symbols have been duplicated. Maybe new keyboard layout
should be made, some users sure used to this "buggy" layout. I made a new one
where all errors I've found are already corrected. I attach new layout in the
patchfile.
lsb_release is not relevant as this problem persists at least for 6
years in every distro I used (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint,
etc...)
P.S.: The patchfile was made from:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz
Best regards
Lukáš Mojžíš
