Comment 26 for bug 92652

Paganini has expressed the true "problem" about this bug.

While I agree with Yamal, in that we would "shift" the problem to our
friends from Poland, Serbia, etc, the fact is that:

*Most* people are "accustomed" to the Windows international keyboard
behavior.

Although there is no defined standard, the effect is that when we install
Ubuntu for our family and friends they expect it to work about the same way
they are used to. If they encounter a small problem like this, they think:
This thing doesn't work.

My proposal is to follow the Windows "standard", to facilitate widespread
adoption.

Those are my 2 cents...
