Description Alexey Rusakov 2005-05-28 20:48:39 UTC 
Version details: ALT Linux, SuSE Linux

1. Run a plain GTK (not GNOME) application (GIMP and GQView are known to be
immune to this bug; Eclipse, Inkskape, all Mozilla-based ones are known to be
vulnerable).
2. Switch to a non-Latin keyboard layout (e.g. Russian).
3. Press some shortcut (e.g., Ctrl-T in Mozilla).
4. The expected action is not performed.

The problem is observed on various versions of Gtk. GNOME libraries, GIMP,
GQview have workarounds for this.

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2005-05-29 12:39:02 UTC 
The difference is not "GNOME vs. plain GTK+" bur rather:

 "Program using real GTK+ menus and key handling"
 "Program not using real GTK+ menus and key handling"

Mozilla and Eclipse aren't fully native GTK+ apps.

Don't know what is wrong with Inkscape, but again it's an app-specific bug.
Comment 4 Billy Biggs 2005-05-29 14:38:15 UTC 
Regarding eclipse, please file a bug at bugs.eclipse.org/bugs against Platform,
component UI.  This case should be working fine.

(I wouldn't say that Eclipse isn't fully native with respect to key bindings,
SWT applications use the GTK+ key binding system just fine.  However, Eclipse
the application overrides this above the toolkit and has its own rather
complicated key binding architecture to support some more complicated cases.)
