[Bug 459888] Re: 3rd level chooser broken on US International keyboard layouts

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
  
  In Jaunty, setting Right Alt as the 3rd level chooser and not setting Compose allowed me to use either of the following methods to type í:
  1. AltGr + ' followed by i
  2. AltGr + i
  
+ (this setting: setxkbmap -option -option
+ nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,lv3:ralt_switch )
+ 
  In Karmic, the same setting results in #1 typing 'i and #2 working
  
  To make #1 work, I have to set Compose to Right Alt. Then, regardless of
  3rd level setting, #2 breaks.
  
+ (either setxkbmap -option -option nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,compose:ralt
+ or
+ setxkbmap -option -option nbsp:level3n,caps:escape,compose:ralt,lv3:ralt_switch )
+ 
+ I'm using US International (AltGr deadkeys), but I tried the other 2 US
+ International layouts and had #1 fail on them as well with the old
+ setting.
