Bug Description
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
The Icelandic keyboard layout currently has a key with a degree sign (°) and an umlaut/diaeresis sign (¨). The normal
function of this key appears to be to compose with the next character to form "å" or "ä", but in Ubuntu (up to and
including 10.04 - Lucid Lynx) the key produces the abovementioned signs by themselves.
Line 26 in "/usr/share/
key <TLDE> { [ degree, diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] };
Changing this to
key <TLDE> { [ dead_abovering, dead_diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] };
Appears to fix the problem.
