Bug Description
In Ubuntu 9.04 I use several keyboard layouts, but have a problem with the Danish layout.
When typing in the Danish keyboard layout I discovered that the space bar, instead of making spaces, it is making non-breaking spaces or something like that. At any rate, it messes up the formatting making words stick together on a new line when typing in tekst in a webform.
When I switch keyboard layout (for example the Canadian Multilingual or French) I can delete the spaces made with the Danish keyboard and retype with the French or Canadian keyboard and everything is fine. So this problem is related to the spacebar of the Danish keyboard in 9.04. I did not have this problem in 8.10.
Attached is a screenshot showing how a typed line with the Danish keyboard layout does not wrap over to line 2 but
continues, and having a need for scroll bars.
Maybe this is a problem not with the Danish layout, but when switching layouts. When setting the DAnish keyboard as default, I seem not to have this problem.
