Well, it's quite complicated and took me one full day to talk to upstream, look at the involved code, and so on… You can have a look at the source upload or upstream bug, but in a nutshell: - we don't use loose right control key in the oss layout :) - we just loose the modifier combo like "right control" + a letter (or any other key).
This is less used than space in rhythmbox or totem. So the choice made was that one. I recommend you to see upstream bug as well as the one listed in the changelog (#198759), all duplicates, and the upstream one of #198759 to get the whole map. This explains why the bug wasn't fixed for so long. -- Can't use space bar in search bar when using french alternative keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
