Bug Description
Binary package hint: language-support-zh
Installing Chinese language support and checking the "Enable support to enter complex
characters" box messes up the keyboard input.
After reboot, and under either an English (United Kingdom) or French (France) session, keys like ^ and ¨ doesn't work anymore : instead of waiting the vowel input to combine with it as in î and ï, they print ^i and ¨i.
Uninstalling Chinese language support and unchecking the "Enable support to enter complex
characters" box solves the problem after reboot, but then no Chinese support is installed - deinstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, rebooting each time one has to change language in the same document is hardly a productivity boost.
