Bug#498915: xkb-data: Non-breakable spaces in Russian layout
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
I have a Russian keyboard layout enable on an en_IE.UTF-8 locale. Here
are the lines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ie,ru"
Option "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
All spaces entered in the Russian layout are non-breakable spaces; this is
seen in applications like iceweasel and openoffice.org . In the Irish layout
spaces are normal.
I have found a workaround; adding ",nbsp:none" to the XKbOptions line allows
me to work as normal.
Filing bug against xkb-data as this is probably a keyboard layout data issue.
In particular, I suspect it has to do with the following line in
/usr.share.x11.xkb.symbols:
key.type[group1]="TWO_LEVEL";
