Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
On keyboard layout selection dialog when first treeview was focused I pressed letters "cz" in order to select "Czechia". In the right treeview "Cambodia" has shown up. This is totaly wrong, should be something like Czechia QWERTZ, QWERTY... Selecting another language from left treeview (both using keyboard and mouse) does nothing, "Cambodia" remains there as only option. I pressed "Back" button then to get back to time zone selection and try it again, but this only disabled "Back" button and changed cursor to busy state. I then waited until installation has finished hoping for it to show then, but nothing happens. "Ready when you are..." is shown as installation progress state, buttons are still disabled, cannot go back, cannot advance further. Happened to me twice - on laptop and in virtual machine running on desktop PC.

I just saw much the same thing while my wife was installing a netbook system. My first suspicion was that an installer backend process had crashed, but there was no obvious sign of that: no traceback in /var/log/ installer/ debug.
