Description Victor Porton 2008-12-17 14:28:22 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I use Gnome and Gnome Keyboard Preferences to have two keyboard layouts, "USA" and "Russia Typewriter".

When I switch (I do this pressing CapsLock key) to "Russia Typewriter" layout, windows switching using Alt+Tab (I configured M-TAB to do "Cycle windows in sawfish-ui) is not working properly.

I press Alt and holding it pressed press Tab, this time it is working properly, the windows are switched. The bug comes when I press Tab second time (continuing to hold Alt). This time (when I press Tab second time), windows switching does not work. Instead it seem to pass Tab key press to the active window.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open at least three windows.
2. Switch to Russian keyboard layout.
3. Holding Alt pressed, press Tab two times.

Actual results:
Switches windows once and then sends Tab key to the second window.

Expected results:
Should switch to the third window.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

did you try with an empty configuration?

( mv ~/.sawfish* ~/Desktop/ && killall -qw sawfish && metacity )
( rm -rf ~/.sawfish* && killall -qw metacity && sawfish )

... those two steps to clean up.

if it works now, it's an configuration issue.

( rm -rf ~/.sawfish* && mv ~/Desktop/.sawfish* ~/ )

... to restore your configuration

Titlebar buttons do not react when I switch to non-English XKB layout (in my case kz(ruskaz)). I.e. when I press a button (minimize), nothing happens and just the tooltip appears.
Clear config used.
Comment 3 Christopher Roy Bratusek 2009-10-16 17:46:52 UTC
what X.Org version? which keyboard driver (kbd, evdev)? what is the exact previous and later layout (en_US, en_GB -> kz_?).
