USA Dvorak keyboard layout does not remap control keys

[Tommy McGuire]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Ubuntu 8.04.1 (currently up to date)

System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > USA Dvorak

The control key mapping does not appear to be updated; i.e. after selecting USA Dvorak, the "i" key types "c" correctly, but with the Control key it inserts a tab (Ctrl-I) instead of a Ctrl-c.

Using "setxkbmap dvorak" from a terminal command line maps the keys correctly. (Control + "i" generates Ctrl-C.)

I believe the problem is in the package gnome-control-center 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu4.1

I do not believe so, although I am not sure what the ultimate issue in
255008 is. I am currently using the Generic 104-key PC keyboard model
(on a Toshiba A215 laptop), with none of the keys dead or
malfunctioning---the only issue that I have seen occurs with the USA
Dvorak layout chosen from the keyboard preferences.

When I tried the evdev-managed keyboard, my arrow keys were dead but I
did not see any change in the US vs. US Dvorak layout behavior.

thank you for your bug report, that seems to be an upstream bug, could you report the issue directly on bugzilla.gnome.org?
