New issue 15852 by mbrubeck: Incorrect keycode with dvorak keyboard layout on Linux http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15852 Chrome Version : 3.0.191.0~svn20090630r19587-0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty OS + version : Ubuntu 9.04 CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32-bit x86 window manager : xmodad What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Configure the system to use the dvorak xkb layout (e.g. using gnome- keyboard-properties). 2. Go to http://www.asquare.net/javascript/tests/KeyCode.html 3. Type an 'x' into the input field (by pressing the key labeled 'B' on a US QWERTY keyboard. What is the expected result? 'x' appears in the input field, '88' (X) in the keyCode properties, and '120' (x) in the charCode properties. What happens instead? 'x' appears in the input field, '66' (B) in the keyCode properties, and '120' (x) in the charCode properties. This affects applications like Google Reader. To go to the next item, I have to type an H in Dvorak (same physical key as J in QWERTY) instead of a J. It also affects built-in keyboard shortcuts in form fields within web pages (e.g. ctrl-C, ctrl-X, ctrl-V). I think this problem appeared in the nightly builds approximately one week ago. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
