http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1059438 Bug ID: 1059438 Summary: Keyboard: Annoying long-time bug: Foreign characters or incorrect operations after selecting text. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: termtech@rogers.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, using openSUSE Tumbleweed (not found in "OS:" list?), but the bug also occurred the last time I tried openSUSE which was several releases ago. Keyboard is Generic 101-key PC. Language is US English. Steps to reproduce: Go to: Settings > Configure desktop > Input devices > Keyboard Type some characters in the test area. Select the characters by using Ctrl+left, or from the start by using Ctrl+right. Now type the 'A' key. Nothing happens. Type 'A' again. Expected behavior: Text replaced with "aa". Observed behavior: Strange foreign character 'å' Try other keys. 'F' key for example produces the single character 'ff' It takes two strokes to produce these characters. But keys which do not produce a special character take /three/ keystrokes to produce anything at all, although it is the correct character. Even keys which are supposed to operate on the text fail: Backspace or delete take two strokes and often 'beep' the PC speaker, depending on the application. It happens in all applications. It is incorrect, extremely annoying, and unusable. Is there a way around this for now? Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
