Description entropy 2013-01-07 12:37:54 UTC 
I use Ubuntu 13.04. I add the "Romanian Standard" Layout. It shows up in the Keyboard Layout Indicator, but after I switch to it, it's English language, the Romanian characters are not existent. The Arabian language works ok, so does the German. But "Romanian Standard", "Romanian Cedilla" don't work at all, I get the same English characters.
Comment 1 entropy 2013-01-07 12:39:35 UTC 
Also, the shortcut for Romanian in the Keyboard Layout Indicator is "ru" instead of "ro". Why? FWIW, "ru" was supposed to be for Russian.
Comment 2 Rui Matos 2013-01-07 12:45:10 UTC 
Can't reproduce. Another Ubuntu specific bug? It's getting old by now.
Comment 3 entropy 2013-01-07 13:05:30 UTC 
Just to clarify. There are seven types of Romanian Layouts, of which only one is working (the "Romanian" one, not the "Romanian Standard", not the "Romanian (cedilla)" etc.). The Russian Layout is not working.
Comment 4 entropy 2013-01-07 22:59:50 UTC 
The "Romanian" Layout is the same with "Romanian (standard)", "Romanian(cedilla)" and all the other four. Can someone fix this? They should have different keyboard layouts. "Romanian (standard)" has as a shortcut "ru", the same with the shortcut for "Russian". Is this a freaking joke? FWIW, now the Russian layout works just fine.
Comment 5 Rui Matos 2013-01-08 19:47:08 UTC 
No, this is not a joke. I strongly suspect that there's something very wrong with either your system installation or the Ubuntu version you're using. Can you try for instance a Fedora 18 live CD? There's no need to install it, just check if you see the same problems there.
Comment 6 entropy 2013-01-08 20:53:26 UTC 
There are no problems with the Fedora live CD. It must be something related to Ubuntu...maybe because I'm using a testing PPA, that is  ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

I would appreciate any help.
Comment 7 Jeremy Bicha 2013-01-08 22:14:05 UTC 
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Since your reply indicates that this is not a GNOME bug, I'm closing this bug report. Those interested in figuring out what's wrong are welcome to do so on the Ubuntu Launchpad bug tracker.

Thank you, Jeremy. Can anyone assign that bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1096901, by the way? Please...It's a pity to have a regressive behaviour on GNOME 3, the best DE IMO.
