Public bug reported: I am running the 12.04 beta, 2012-04-12 daily, i386, from a DVD. I have 3 different keyboard layouts loaded in the keyboard layout selector: US, ES (LATAM), and Maori. With ES selected, and the AltGr key depressed, my top QWERTY row should look like this
@ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ But if I do this in the gnome-terminal, I get ������������� If I then remove Maori from the list, and continue with the ES (LATAM) layout, I get the proper characters on the screen. See bug #929054 for an earlier report on the xfce4-terminal in Xubuntu 12.04 beta, on the same amd64 machine. This does not happen with the KDE terminal program in Kubuntu 12.04 beta. Also it does not happen in Debian 6 with a similar combination of keyboard layouts, including Maori. Debian has a somewhat different selection of layouts available, but it does have the ones I tested on this machine. Also it has a somewhat older version of gnome-terminal. I filed this separate bug report to emphasise that this happens with gnome-terminal, and still happens as of today's build, with no problems arising from multiple updates to the installation on this computer.
