Yes, I did. I even removed Korean language pack and reinstalled it to see
if the reinstallation makes the choice of regions available, but it still
shows limited choice of British Commonwealth countries and the US. As you
probably know, I don't need to install language pack separately, since when
you set the locale to Korean, the system automatically downloads all the
necessary language packs. So far no flavors of Ubuntu 15.04 cause the same
issue but Ubuntu GNOME. (I even tried Fedora 22 alpha 1 and it did not have
such an issue.) I found this issue about three weeks ago. I hoped the issue
is gone after the RC version is released, but it is still there. Like I
said, I will fresh install the 15.04 on another machine after tomorrow's
release to see if the issue is gone.
