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.
