Bug#362017: kxkb: layout tab "reset" button has strange effect
Package: kdebase-bin
Version: 4:3.3.2-1sarge1
Severity: normal
This bug may be related: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361733
I shall describe how to reproduce the bug on a new user account (for which
kxkb has never been run).
(1) start Control Centre --> Regional & Accessibility --> Keyboard Layout
(2) The "keyboard layout" module opens with the "layout" tab active.
Note that keyboard layouts are not enabled, so most of the tab is
greyed out. You can see that the greyed-out defaults are:
keyboard model: Generic 104-key PC
active layouts: U.S. English (us)
(3) click to "enable keyboard layouts"; the main box becomes active (not
greyed-out)
(4) click "reset" in the bottom right; the main box becomes greyed-out,
but you can see the U.S. English keyboard listed *twice* on the right
Each time you repeat (3)-(4), the list gets longer by one entry.
This behaviour is a bug.
Variation: say you already have layouts enabled and there are two layouts
on the list.
(3a) click to disable layouts
(4a) click "reset" : now your list is two layouts longer!
