Bug Description
[Impact]
The keyboard-
The proposed upload does not claim to fix all issues with this incompatibility. But one of the annoyances is that a pure upgrade of the keyboard-
[Test Case]
1. On an Ubuntu 18.04 system, make sure that the contents of
/etc/
XKBLAYOUT=se,us
BACKSPACE=guess
XKBVARIANT=,
2. Reboot.
3. Upgrade to the version of the keyboard-
bionic-proposed.
=> Find that /etc/default/
4. Run the command
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
=> Find that you are now offered to change your keyboard configuration.
[Regression Potential]
As a result of this upload, and unlike before, no keyboard configuration will happen behind the scenes on a desktop system due to an upgrade of the keyboard-
[Original description]
Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in 18.04
Steps to reproduce:
1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources
2. Open several applications
3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab
4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab.
5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options.
6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Actual state:
* Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method.
Expected state:
* The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Notes:
* The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
