Comment # 1 on bug 1230851 from Stefan Hundhammer

I just tried on a 100% up-to-date TW VM, and it works as expected.

I installed that system with English language and a German keyboard layout, and
it's been working as expected ever since:

I get "q w e r t z" on the top letter row for German on both the X11 desktop
and the text console.

(blank lines inserted for readability)


When I use "yast2 keyboard" from the menu or from the command line to set the
keyboard layout to "US International", I get "q w e r t y" on the top letter
row on the keyboard.

When I change it back to "German", everything is back to normal - as expected.


And it's the same on my up-to-date Slowroll laptop that I installed just last
week, also with English locale, but German keyboard.
