https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297163#c5 --- Comment #5 from Jiří Suchomel 2007-08-07 07:05:24 MST --- I think the test entry is enough, also the label ("Test keyboard layout") seems appropriate there. Yes, there is no help text, so I could add something like "To ensure about your current keyboard layout, you may write into the <b>test keyboard layout</b> entry." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
