setup: Ubuntu 5.10; TypeMatrix EZ-Reach 2030 (Dvorak) keyboard. There is no Alt Gr key on this layout. I use Left-Control + Left shift as the operating key. This works fine with text editor, evolution, browsers, terminal and OpenOffice 2.0.1
Problem: upgraded to 2.0.4 and the combination of Left-Control+ Left-shift does not work, yet it does in all other programmes. Can insert characters using insert menu. I upgraded to 2.0.4 on my notebook (Ubuntu 5.10, Dvorak layout keypad) same problem (worked ok with 2.0.1) Therefore I think 2.0.4 has lost the ability to recognise this keypad combination. Have searched in options for anything to do with keyboard or character encoding (default setting is Unicode UTF-8).Have tried changing control keys in the Tools | configure | keyboard but with no success. When using 2.0.1, I did not have to change any keyboard settings. The special character guide refers to remapping Xorg or XF86 using xmodmap. I can understand that this would be necessary if the key combination did not work in any text based programme but it does - so I think it is particular to OpenOffice I would appreciate any advice on what I need to alter in 2.0.4 to allow special character input from keyboard. Many thanks in anticipation yours Neil Redgate
