Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
On all Ubuntu versions since "Adding Esperanto circumflexes" option was
introduced, if conflicts with "Enable extra typographic characters"
option.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard
2. Open Layouts tab, click Options...
3. Enable "Add Esperanto circumflexes" (Dvorak or QWERTY, doesn't matter, I use
QWERTY).
4. Make sure "Key to choose 3rd level is enabled"
5. Open Gedit, type additional Esperanto characters by pressing s, c, u, j, h,
g with 3rd level key. You should get ŝ, ĉ, ŭ, ĵ, ĥ, ĝ correspondingly.
6. Back in keyboard preferences window, enable "Enable extra typographic
characters" located under "Miscellaneous compatibility options"
7. In Gedit, type the same sequence again. You'll get §, ©, ŭ, „, ĥ, ĝ — half
of the characters in question are replaced.
Desired behaviour:
The best possible thing would be to ensure we have an option to choose which
setting overrides another in this case. I suppose it's a lot of work.
My point is: people that are enabling Esperanto circumflexes do need those and
do know what they are doing. I suppose they would rather have Esperanto
characters working at the cost of §, © and „ in "extra typographic characters".
Perhaps a note in the preferences window warning about this override would be
nice, too.
