Bug 57152 – xorg fails to produce " and ~ under en_US layout in KDE

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roie Kerstein 2004-07-15 03:44:37 UTC]

I have two keyboard layouts defined on KDE.
The he_IL works fine.
When I try to type " , or ~ using the en_US layout, nothing happens.
when LC_CTYPE="he_IL.utf8", the character is displayed once if I type it twice. When LC_CTYPE="he_IL.iso88598" even if I type 10 times nothing happens.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.define LC_CTYPE="he_IL.iso88598"
2.define in KDE he_IL and en_US keyboard layouts
3.try to type ~ or "

Actual Results:  
nothing 

Expected Results:  
~ or " should appear

Does this only happen in KDE? Can you reproduce it using, for example, just openbox?

[Comment 2 Roie Kerstein 2004-07-15 22:31:50 UTC]

Under failsafe, for example, it did not happen. However, although the bug seems to be KDE specific, I do not think it is a bug of KDE, because under XFree it did not happen at all. I use KDE 3.2.3.

Ideas appreciated

I have found a workaround for this bug.
I use the en_us ISO9995-3 layout instead of the standard us layout, in which it seems to work perfectly.

Please reopen if this remains an issue with modular X.
