wrong key mapping when two languages are installed

[Noam Cohen]

OS: ubuntu 22.04, with both Hebrew and English installed. Currently English is selected.

In Pycharm editor:
When pressing "CTRL /", the "/" key is interpreted as it was in Hebrew: "."

I opened a bug in Jetbrain and we followed it until deciding it is an OS bug. see the report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-155829#focus=Comments-27-9905012.0-0

For the desktop, console-setup only handles the declaration of the keyboard mappings; the actual toggling between keymaps is handled up the stack in the X or Wayland stack. Are you using X or Wayland here?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Seems pretty certain to be X. There is no wayland-session tag and the Nvidia driver is present.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please open Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources and then 'View Keyboard Layout' for the item at the top of the list. Does it match the layout you expected?

[Noam Cohen (cnoam)]

yes, it matches. However, remember that as part of my debugging with Jetbrains (link above) I removed and then installed the lang again, and since then the bug is hiding.

Using X11. Please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-155829/wrong-key-mapping-when-two-languages-are-installed#focus=Comments-27-9882009.0-0
