Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.6+2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Hi,
I use a double layout: us with default variant, and il with
a non-default variant (one I have added myself, but I think
that's beside the point). I used to have settings that ran
> setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us,il -variant ,si1452
Today, after an upgrade, this command produced weird results:
switching to the il layout seemed to work (in terms of the keyboard
indicator), but the keyboard produced Latin letters instead of
Hebrew.
Upon investigation via xkbprint, I found that the layout I was using
with this command was actually
pc+us+il(si1452):2+ie(basic):2+...
It was that ie(basic), which I didn't ask for, which was messing up
my keyboard. I was able to fix it by changing the order of keyboards:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout il,us -variant si1452,
With this, the layout as reported by xkbprint became
pc+il(si1452)+us:2+...
And all is well. So my bet is that the problem is with the combination
of default first variant with non-default second.
This bug surfaced after today's update which included
x11-xserver-utils, xkb-data, and several libx11-* packages,
so it may not actually be in setxkbmap, but that's where I
see the problems.
HTH,
Shai.

Apparently the problem is with my setup; running commands similar to those I
used in the report with other variants give the expected results.
