Stable old system even with new applications is not an option for many developers. Cause of old kernel, standard libraries and such.
For example, my touchpad won't work on older kernels and many other hardware in newer laptops. I once struggled for substantial amount of time to compile node.js on CentOS cause of old stdlib. It's also much harder to install new versions of Python, Perl, Ruby, gcc on older distributions. And anyway, proposing to not upgrade to stable release to not get severe bugs sounds very strange. 05 дек. 2013 г. 23:11 пользователь "Anton Statutov" < 1226...@bugs.launchpad.net> написал: > @Norbert > Ubuntu 12.04 was not more stable then 12.10 or 13.04.

Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard layout. Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non- latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with english layout. If you use english and two different non-latin layouts this workaround helps only with one of them. ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ibus/+bug/1226962/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
