Comment 2 for bug 1284824

Hi Lee, thanks for the report. Since I don't use keyboard layouts I have trouble understanding what the problem is. What do you mean when you say that Hebrew no longer has the 1-8 numeric characters? When you press the "3" key, nothing shows up? The askubuntu thread you linked to said they tried to upload a picture but could not. Perhaps you could do so here?

You might want to give LyX 2.1beta2 a try. It's easy to install it alongside your other LyX version and there's no conflict:

Note that I checked the Hebrew map file and the last changes to it were done in 2007 so it must be a packaging problem or a more general problem in LyX.
