Description jakub 2003-04-14 14:54:14 UTC
When you add more keymaps to XF86Config like this:
Option      "XkbLayout" "us,cz_qwerty"

gnome-terminal starts to capture some chars like 't', 's' as shortcuts
(only chars analoging to menu shortcuts) and opens menu.

maybe, gnome-terminal uncorrectly adds meta keys to this characters?

I have similar experience when using "Gnome Keyboard Indicator" to switch keymaps.
I have added both QWERTY and DVORAK in the keyboard indicator, and the shortcuts
of either keymaps can invoke the menu, e.g.

Keymap in use	Keys 	Keys in another map	Action
Dvorak		Alt+u	Alt+f			File menu invoked
Dvorak		Alt+f	Alt+y			File menu invoked
QWERTY		Alt+y	Alt+f			File menu invoked
QWERTY		Alt+f	Alt+u			File menu invoked

This is very annoying when I want to use Ctrl+[ in Dvorak, which is mapped to
Ctrl+- in QWERTY, and the terminal zooms out.

Not a gnome-terminal bug, see bug 162726.
Comment 4 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2006-11-19 04:26:22 UTC
I have never been able to reproduce the behaviour described by Jakub. I remember trying by changing my xfree.conf/xorg.conf file and/or by running

   setxkbmap us,cz_qwerty

Jakub: do you still see this?

The problem reported by Siu Man Chan seems to be something else, covered by bug 162726, as Eric notes.

NEEDINFO (see comment 4 first part); comment 2 and possibly also the original issue from comment 0 is a dup of bug 162726.
