Bug ID: 2241601 Summary: Fedora input broke the fr(oss) French layout (default Fedora French layout) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: xkeyboard-config Severity: medium Assignee: peter.hutterer@redhat.com Reporter: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: ajax@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, negativo17@gmail.com, peter.hutterer@redhat.com, rhughes@redhat.com, rstrode@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
fr(oss) is supposed to emit French upper case accented letters in caps locks mode ÉÈÇÀ
Something changed in the past months and it emits lower case instead. So you get very annoying mixed-case éLéGANT runs of text in caps locks.
Explicit level 4 capital selection still works but this change breaks existing user habits and is very inconvenient for new users.
To be honest I’ve noticed the breakage for some time but was hoping it was a stupid mistake that would go away with time.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch to fr(oss) 2. set cap locks 3. tap the first (number) row → letters with diacritics should be emitted in upper case, for example É, not lower case é
It is not a bug that cap locks produces symbols and accented letters. In azerty, unlike qwerty, access to the diacritics necessary to type proper French is prioritized over access to numbers
