I've tried with the kcontrol Regional Keyboard settings enabled and disabled. No difference. The quote keys work only with AltGr pressed in OOo, but work normally in all other applications. I tried using XkbModel to pc105 to see if the Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro XkbModel was causing the odd effect. However, changing that did not change the weird quote keys kb behaviour either. If anything, the Regional Keyboard setting make the problem worse, affecting other applications too, so I disabled it again. As far as I know, I'm not using UTF-8. Here's the output of locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= and locale -a C POSIX en_GB en_GB.iso885915 en_GB.utf8 en_US en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 Maybe it's not an UTF-8 issue as Jerônimo suggested it might be, but I'm baffled by this odd kb behaviour showing only in OOo under KDE. Could you please show the output of locale and locale -a on your system? Cheers, Dave. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
