GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 458259
gtk+-2.10.11 - apps don't receive Greek letters from keyboard typed by Caps Lock + key
Last modified: 2018-02-10 03:30:16 UTC
Hello, I have my own keyboard layout and XIM (as well as all other input methods) eats characters typed as Caps Lock + key (I write mostly greek letter by this). I was redirected here from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185647. I tracked down the change that started this in SVN, but don't know how to fix that properly (since the revision was a bugfix, so removing it does not make much sense). Thank you
If you know which change started this, ti would be a good idea to put this information here, don't you think ?
Actually, I thought putting a link to the other bugzilla where I wrote it was enough and I did not want to spam too much, if anyone can follow the link… But it is this exact change: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gtk+?view=revision&revision=17446. I hope this one is specific enough. Thank you
Hello This bug is still alive in version gtk+-2.12.9. Is there a chance it will be fixed somewhen? Thank you
Is this still an issue in gtk 3.2.x or 2.24.8?
Hello Sorry, I don't know and I can't test, the layout definition got lost during the time. I no longer use caps lock as a modifier, I type Greek letters with right control and that one works.
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue for it.
