** Summary changed:

- New keyboard indicator in Saucy enters incorrect Space symbol when press 
Shift + Space
+ Unable to use piped commands in terminal because Shift + Space enters not a 
space symbol

** Description changed:

  I'm not sure that this is the right package to report this problem, but
  as I understand it is responsible for keyboard stuff and it was
  significantly changed in Saucy.
  
  I noticed some strange and annoying behaviour in gnome terminal window.
  If you type some command with single pipe (|), double pipe (||) or
  double ampersand (&&), you'll see that bash can't recognize the command
  after the pipe/ampersand.
  
  Example:
  
  anton@ibn-hottab:~$ ls | grep Music
  
  No command ' grep' found, did you mean:
   Command 'fgrep' from package 'grep' (main)
   Command 'vgrep' from package 'atfs' (universe)
   Command 'xgrep' from package 'xgrep' (universe)
   Command 'grep' from package 'grep' (main)
   Command 'zgrep' from package 'gzip' (main)
   Command 'zgrep' from package 'zutils' (universe)
   Command 'igrep' from package 'openimageio-tools' (universe)
   Command 'agrep' from package 'agrep' (multiverse)
   Command 'sgrep' from package 'sgrep' (universe)
   Command 'rgrep' from package 'grep' (main)
   Command 'dgrep' from package 'debian-goodies' (main)
   Command 'ngrep' from package 'ngrep' (universe)
   Command 'lgrep' from package 'lv' (universe)
   Command 'pgrep' from package 'procps' (main)
   Command 'egrep' from package 'grep' (main)
   grep: command not found
  
  I'm 100% sure that grep is installed on my computer. And in fact it
  doesn't matter what command is entered after the pipe. As you may notice
- Space symbol is enterpreted as a part of the command.
+ Space symbol is interpreted as a part of the command.
  
  But if you press Up and remove or edit the space in the command, it will
  work fine:
  
  anton@ibn-hottab:~$ ls | grep Music
  Music
  
  I understood why this happened. When I typed the command fast, I pressed
  Shift to enter the pipe and then emmidiately pressed Space. In other
  words, when I type Shift + Space some strange symbol that looks like a
  space entered instead (nobreakspace maybe). This symbol is interpreted
  by bash as a part of the next command. If you type the command very
  carefully and don't press Shift when enter the Space, everything will
  work as expected.
  
  I veryfied this bug in gnome-terminal and in xterm and it is 100%
  reproducible. There is not difference if I'm using bash or sh. The bug
  is not reproducible at all when I test in real terminal (tty,
  Ctrl+Alt+F1).
  
  Please, let me know if you need some assistance from my side.
