Description Patrick Kilgore 2008-04-26 22:43:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
A bug report has been opened on launchpad here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/221112

If the user has a French Alternative keyboard layout and tries to enter a space bar when focus is on the search bar, the currently selected song starts playing instead of inserting a space character into the search string.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set Keyboard layout to French Alternative (prefs->keyboard->layout tab->new in ubuntu)
2. Open Rhythmbox and attempt to search for a song with a space character separating words



Actual results:
The currently selected song plays

Expected results:
The space character is inserted into the search string.

Does this happen every time?
Yes - Using Ubuntu 8.04

Other information:
Check linked bug report for xorg.conf and gconf files for those experiencing this bug.
Comment 1 Ludovic Lebègue 2008-05-02 12:00:27 UTC 
A change of Keyboard layout in GNOME to "France Alternative, latin9 only" solved this. This may not be directly related to Rhythmbox but to GNOME keyboard management.
Comment 2 Patrick Kilgore 2008-05-02 16:23:02 UTC 
Further investigations revealed this was an issue with xorg keyboard configurations not rhythmbox.
Comment 3 Romain Failliot 2009-10-08 06:13:23 UTC 
This is still an issue for us (non english users)... there has been no resolution at all, just workarounds. What can we do to be heard?
