Description Martin Kraus 2003-06-30 18:13:40 UTC 
I'm using xfree86 4.3.0 and gtk-2.2.2. I have diferent layouts specified
as:  Option "XkbLaout" "us,cz" in XF86Config. when I switch to the cz
layout and press a letter that is used as a menu shortcut in a given
program, the menu is automaticly called. this leaves me unable to use some
of the letters when using czech keyboard, which really annoys me:-) all
gtk2 apps I have on my system do the same thing. apps using gtk1.2 work
fine. So I guess it has to be in gtk2 lib. But I'm just a user.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-06-30 18:32:50 UTC 
I think this is the same as bug 100439 ... the problem is that
your keyboard map is using some shortcut such as Control-Alt
or Control-Shift as a modifier (probably to switch groups)

If you configure a different group-switch method in your
XF86Config, things will likely work better.

Comment 2 Martin Kraus 2003-06-30 23:25:57 UTC 
nope. I forgot to mention this before, I've already tried that. It
does the same thing even when I set it to grp:menu_toggle. however
when I change the order of the layouts to cz,us it works ok, but the
us keyboard gets some keys redefined plus I want the us layout to be
first.  Right now, I'm using the old us+cz way to describe the layouts
and it works ok, but again, the cz is the first.
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2003-07-01 00:34:22 UTC 
It really has to be something with the handling of 
'consumed modifiers' ... nothing else could cause such
symptoms

If someone want to debug into it and see *exactly* what
is going on, and exactly what is causing the problem
in a particular keyboard layout, I wouldn't object, but
I think it's basically part of bug 100439.
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2003-08-18 23:36:28 UTC 
It turns out this is actually a bit different from 
bug 100439 ... while I think whatever fix we come
up with for bug 100439 will probably fix this, this
problem seems to be an error in the XFree86 keyboard
maps of some type.

I've put some detailed analysis at:
