You have been subscribed to a public bug:
1. The release of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 8.10 - the Intrepid Ibex
2. The version of the package: Keyboard Indicator 2.24.1; Keyboard layout
indicator applet for GNOME; Copyright (c) Sergey V. Udaltsov 1999-2004
3. What you expected to happen
I have configured the gnome keyboard layout to include 3 languages: US,
Hungarian, and Romanian.
Under Keyboad Preferences>Layouts>Other Options...>Layout Switching, i have
selected "ALT+CAPS LOCK changes layout"
Under Keyboard model I select: "IBM ThinkPad T61", since my system is a
Thinkpad T61p.
After this I expected the following:
- when I press alt+caps Lock that my 3 layouts toggle one after
another in a cyclic manner: US>HUN>RO>US>...
- when I right click on the applet > Show Current Layout, an image
with the currently set key symbols should be drawn.
- when I cycle through the layouts either with alt+capsLock or by
clicking on the applet, the correct language abbreviations should be displayed.
4. What happened instead
The applet seems to work OK for a few minutes after I freshly add it to my
gnome-panel, but not always.
- When I press alt+caps, the layout switches from US>HUN>RO and there
it gets stuck instead of cycling back to US and so forth (like in windows).
Maybe this was coded so intentionally, nevertheless it is lame. Clicking on the
applet cycles back to USA correctly.
- The Show Current Layout menu item always brings up the USA layout, no
matter in what layout I am currently in.
- Only "USA" is displayed correctly, the rest of the abbreviations are
messed up: instead of HUN I get "??" and instead of RO I get "??z" displayed
- ricght click > Groups shows only USA, although in Keyboard
Preferences I have all 3 layouts added.
