Subject: Bug#38778: LyX fails in inserting upercase+accent if LANG=fr_FR AND french
key map is in use
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 10:05:00 +0200 (CET)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: LyX
Version: 1.0.1 to 1.0.3pre4
Debian release : many slink (maybe with kernels 2.2.X)
The following bug has been detected by several french users (cf the
debian-french mailing list):
First the french keymap is installed (cf the French-HOWTO).
Then on a french keyboard :
if LANG=fr_FR then pressing the key 2�~ in UPPERCASE mode has no
effect in LyX.
if LANG=fr then pressing the key 2�~ in UPPERCASE mode produce
the correct result : an uppercase E with accent grave.
A user reported that without the french keymap installed the bug is
not present.
Proposed partial "solution" : At LyX startup, if LANG=fr_FR then run
LyX in a subshell with LANG=fr (I know it's ugly :-).

And later came a correction:
Sorry for the inconvenience but in my bug report there's an error:
Please read that the problem occurs when LC_ALL=fr_FR instead of
LANG=fr.
Accordingly the problem is solved when LC_ALL=fr instead of LANG=fr.
