https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control- center/-/merge_requests/910#note_1626366 ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2000423 Title: "Alternate Characters Key" UI not reflecting current choice Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gnome-control-center source package in Jammy: In Progress Bug description: [ Impact ] When you set an "Alternate Characters Key", only two of the available options — "None" and "Right Alt" — are correctly reflected in the UI. If you select some of the other options, the UI tells you that "None" is selected. The xkb-options dconf value is correct, though. As an example: If I pick Right Ctrl, xkb-options is correctly changed to ['lv3:ralt_alt', 'lv3:switch']. So it looks like it parses lv3:ralt_alt instead of lv3:switch, and incorrectly concludes that the current value is "None". [ Test Plan ] * Install gnome-control-center from jammy-proposed. * Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Alternate Characters Key and pick some other option but "None" or "Right Alt". * Make sure that the option you selected is correctly reflected in the UI. [ Where problems could occur ] This is a targeted fix which only affects a specific control in Settings. Considering the current broken state, I'd say that the risk is minimal that the change would make it worse.
