GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 789761
After switching keyboard layout (to Neo2) in gdm, input is wrong (wrong keyboard layout level)
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:49:23 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Have 2 (or more) keyboard layouts, with German (nodeadkeys) as primary and German Neo2 as secondary layout for both gnome-shell user and gdm instances. 2. reboot 3. in gdm, switch to Neo2 keyboard layout 4. type a username containing any numbers on Neo2's 4th level What happens: Instead of putting numbers (level 4) into the text field, the corresponding keys on level 1 are put in, i.e. "m" instead of 1, "," instead of 2, … What should happen: I press the key combination for a number, so it should input the number. Additional info: This also works when typing a password. You may want to enable "Text anzeigen" (show text) from context menu. I think this is a regression from 3.24.x. https://www.neo-layout.org/ shows the neo2 keyboard layout with all its 6 layers, e.g. for how to input numbers. Affected version: 3.26.1 on Fedora 27 Note: This issue has been reported to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789300#c11 first.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
