Bug#914834: xfce4-settings: Keyboard layout switching keys make default actions not work
Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.12.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In the Keyboard Settings dialog, if the "Change layout option" is set
to (say) "Both Alt together", then the right Alt key stops working in
applications.
To reproduce:
* Set "Change layout option" to "Both Alt together"
* Open xev
* Press left Alt; result is "Alt_L"
* Press right Alt; result is "ISO_Level3_Shift"
* Set "Change layout option" to "-" (disabled)
* Press right Alt in xev window; result is "Alt_R"
My other keyboard layout options are:
Keyboard model: "Generic 105-key PC (intl.)"
Compose key: "Menu"
Keyboard layout: English (US) -> English (Dvorak) [selected]
Hebrew -> Hebrew (Biblical, Tiro) [alternate]
I also use 'setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps', which there is no current
setting for.
