Description Ioannis 2014-08-16 21:36:06 UTC 
When I start GIMP with Greek input Language on keyboard, the key combinations(eg. ctrl + z) do not work, even if I have changed the keyboard language back to English while GIMP is running. If I close GIMP and restart it with ENG keyboard language, everything is fine.

Reproduce: Start GIMP with Greek(Maybe works with any non-English) keyboard Language.

OS: Windows 8.1
GIMP: 2.8.10

There is bug 136280, this one might be the same issue.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2014-09-10 22:35:52 UTC 
The part where ctrl+z doesn't work when there is no 'z' key is covered
in bug 136280. However if you switch back to english *while* GIMP is running,
GTK+ should pick that up and the shortcut should start to work.

I tried "ctrl-ö" and started GIMP with an English keyboard layout (without ö)
and the shortcut didn't work. However it did after switching to German
*while* GIMP was running, on Linux.

This might be a windows specific bug because keymaps are handled by the
GDK backend.
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2014-10-19 20:02:50 UTC 
Can anyone confirm this for Windows?
Comment 4 link_tree 2017-01-05 14:10:42 UTC 
I have the same issue on Windows 10 with Hebrew keyboard layout.
Comment 5 link_tree 2017-01-05 14:25:15 UTC 
GIMP version tested in above comment was 2.8.18
Comment 6 link_tree 2017-01-05 14:28:34 UTC 
Oh and also it's not just for key combinations, it doesn't work for any key. for example pressing F or P doesn't yield any result. But the text tool still works if you try to input text in both languages.
Comment 7 Alex 2017-02-07 13:24:30 UTC 
This bug reveals in two actions:
1. Statring gnome in non-US keyboard layout.
2. While opening file with non-US keyboard layout selected. If I close opened file, shortcut keys starts to work perfectly.
Comment 8 Alex 2017-02-07 13:26:20 UTC 
Sorry for errors:
1. Starting Gimp, not Gnome.

My layout is russian.
