Public bug reported:
I installed my Ubuntu 12.04 system (using Gnome Classic) with "English
(US)" as the default locale (I performed the installation in US), and
then took the laptop back to China, where I reside most of the year.
Since then, I have found two unwanted behaviors in the keyboard layout
preference panel:
1. When I open the keyboard layout preferences**, it goes first to the
Layouts tab. But, it has already silently changed the "display language"
from my original English (US) setting to Chinese (China). I did not do
anything to make this change. There is no warning in the interface that
the locale has changed. The only way to see that it changed is to click
on the Language tab -- which, of course, no user is going to do unless
they want to change the locale.
** System Settings > Keyboard > "Keyboard Layouts" link
This confused me mightily on my next login, when all menus and
everything else were suddenly in Chinese, due to no action of my own.
I think it's a reasonable expectation on the user's part that simply
opening a preference panel will not overwrite options that have already
been configured. The Language setting should remain unchanged until the
user explicitly changes it!
2. At the same time, the file "~/.signature" is deleted. I can't think
of a good reason for this either.
