By the way, I accidentally stumbled upon a similar issue that happened
before: #236604. There could be more, too.
It would help if you could keep a reminder somewhere in the back of your
head to get one or both of these things done:
* implement some sort of regression testing for the keyboard layouts
* make sure people using some layouts are notified when something happens
in an upper-level layout (template)
That will go a long way in preventing these kinds of errors in the future.
Thanks. In advance. :)
