Public bug reported:
Using an US International Keyboard, you should be able to type '«' by pressing
RIGHT_ALT + '['.
Actually every time I start or reboot my Hardy install, this is not working. To
make it work I need to start the Keyboard Preferences from the menu, then in
the options select and deselect one of the option (for example add Euro sign to
'E', and only to make the system reload the keyboard mapping). After this the
keyboard will correctly type this '«'.
This problem didn't happened on Gutsy, from which I updated my install.
Here following further informations about my config.
#lsb_release -rd
