I've tried with the kcontrol Regional Keyboard settings enabled and |
| 47 |
disabled. No difference. The quote keys work only with AltGr pressed |
| 48 |
in OOo, but work normally in all other applications. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I tried using XkbModel to pc105 to see if the Logitech Cordless Desktop |
| 51 |
Pro XkbModel was causing the odd effect. However, changing that did not |
| 52 |
change the weird quote keys kb behaviour either. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
If anything, the Regional Keyboard setting make the problem worse, |
| 55 |
affecting other applications too, so I disabled it again. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
As far as I know, I'm not using UTF-8. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Here's the output of locale |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
LANG= |
| 62 |
LC_CTYPE="POSIX" |
| 63 |
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" |
| 64 |
LC_TIME="POSIX" |

LC_COLLATE="POSIX" |

LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" |

LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" |

LC_ALL= |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
and locale -a |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
C |
| 79 |
POSIX |
| 80 |
en_GB |
| 81 |
en_GB.iso885915 |
| 82 |
en_GB.utf8 |
| 83 |
en_US |
| 84 |
en_US.iso885915 |
| 85 |
en_US.utf8 |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
Maybe it's not an UTF-8 issue as Jerônimo suggested it might be, but I'm |
| 88 |
baffled by this odd kb behaviour showing only in OOo under KDE. |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
Could you please show the output of locale and locale -a on your system? |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
Cheers, Dave. |
