** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gnome-control-center + If Compiz used (e.g. Ubuntu with Unity), Gnome keyboard settings "Allow + different layouts for individual windows" & "New windows use the default + layout" doesn't work properly. New windows always use last active + window's layout ignoring default keyboard layout. - 1. There are two keyboard layouts in my system keyboard settings (System - Preferences - Keyboard: Layouts): - USA (first layout) and Russia (second layout). + This bug affects all Ubuntu versions using Compiz as window manager + (including Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10-beta1). - 2. Checkbox "Separate layout for each window" is checked. + Steps to reproduce this bug. - 3. But checkbox "New windows use active window's layout" does not works. I can check it or uncheck, but new windows always use active window's layout regardless of my choice in keyboard preferences. - Сheckbox "New windows use active window's layout" has no effect on the behavior of the keyboard layout. + Required settings: - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 - Package: gnome-control-center 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.41-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 - Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Mon Aug 23 23:15:11 2010 - ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: gnome-control-center + 1.
