GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 452788
Keyboard layout options aren't displayed when opened for the first time
Last modified: 2008-04-06 12:13:45 UTC
Please describe the problem: No text is displayed in gnome-keyboard-properties "Keyboard Layout" tab when opened for the first time after installing gnome or creating a new account. If any item is expanded, the text is then displayed correctly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new account; 2. Start gnome; 3. Open gnome-keyboard-settings; 4. Select the "Layouts" tab; 5. Click "Add...", select "Lithuanian" (don't expand) and click OK; 6. Now open the "Layout Options" tab. Actual results: No text is displayed. Expected results: The text is displayed correctly. Does this happen every time? This happens every time after creating a new account. Other information: I don't know if this bug can be reproduced in any other way than I described, so if you want to reproduce it, you have to follow these steps exactly and in the same order they're described. If I can, I'll attach a few screenshots.

This really happens every now and then, I know. I have no real idea why - and cannot reliably reproduce it. The funny thing is the data is there. I suspect it i gtk's problem - but I really cannot prove it.
Could this be resolved by triggering the focus event when the specific tab is selected?
Can you reproduce it that way?
FWIW, that dialog that allows you to choose how to switch the layout, etc is not in a different location and it doesn't seem to have this issue. Running GNOME 2.21.5 and gnome-control-center 2.21.5.
losing then. Please reopen if you encounter this again.
