The bug was formerly marked as affecting gtk+2.0, but was changed to just "Ubuntu" without an explanation of why in the accompanying comment #38. I've reverted that change. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Bug #518056 in Launchpad
Thanks Gunnar I made a brief research through Ubuntu's documentation and I think the affected packages are: ubuntu-keyboard-portuguese ubuntu-keyboard-spanish ubuntu-keyboard-english ubuntu-keyboard-french Note that I included ubuntu-keyboard-english I think it is applicable due to the fact that I have no knowledge of a word in English that has the '+c combination resulting in accented C (ć) instead of ccedilla (ç). I also crosschecked the US English behavior keyboard in Android 5.0.1 to see what was the result and there is no ć option (when pressing and holding "c"). To write down this msg I had to switch keyboards in my phone to present the ć character. The '+c = ç is the default behavior for Latin languages using US International keyboard since the old times of MS-DOS/DR-DOS (80's). The problem is not related to udev, evdev or kernel since the keys are all mapped and respond to a user input. The problem is the outcome of the keystroke combination '+c that should result in ç for Latin languages when using US International keyboards. There are workarounds in other packages that provide only local solutions, for instance, to change GTK+ as suggested by another bug affects only GTK+ apps, thus KDE users/apps would not behave as expected. IMHO the fix must be done using a global strategy instead of local, otherwise the number of changes through the ecosystem grows exponentially. Could someone double check if the packages listed herein are the correct ones.

Bug #518056 in Launchpad
*cedilla* *appears** as **accented** c (ć **instead* *of** ç) **when* *typing** 'c* We are close to a new Ubuntu version roll out. There is a bug in Launchpad that IMHO affects millions of people and at the same time enables a great impedance for Ubuntu to be embraced by non-skilled users. The bug is related to a prime user interface, i.e., keyboard mapping for Latin languages. While we(users) are some times amazed with several new features that Ubuntu devs bring to us with each new version, I find myself stumbled for such a simple bug with several workarounds and solutions identified not being addressed. Could someone sponsor the implementation of this bug in the next release?? This bug needs a little love... It has at least 4 years and it may be fixed with two lines of code.
