RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Benjamin Bellec 2014-04-02 15:50:20 UTC 
I just wanted to share a bug, not a blocker one at all, but really silly for an Enterprise distribution from my point of view.
It hits RHEL 7.0 Beta.

Here is the upstream report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719846

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-04-10 05:47:23 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Benjamin Bellec 2014-04-10 07:29:51 UTC 
If this can't be updated for RHEL 7.0, it would be great if this can be fixed in RHEL 7.1.
Comment 4 Stephen John Smoogen 2014-05-05 23:57:49 UTC 
Looking at the gnome side of the bug it looks like you need to change components from gnome to the X server as keyboard layout changes are 'really' controlled at that level versus the gnome-settings.
Comment 5 Fred New 2015-02-25 12:17:31 UTC 
I'm seeing this problem in Fedora 20 as well. NumLock turns off when I use shift while entering my password in the GDM login screen -
xorg-x11-server-common-1.14.4-14.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.4-14.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-6.fc20.x86_64
Comment 6 Robert Mason 2015-03-10 10:31:50 UTC 
I think I'm experiencing the same thing in Fedora 21. I'm using a UK keyboard and UK keyboard layout.

Pressing the shift key turns the numlock light off, but the numpad actually still works. At this point pressing numlock key turns numlock off, and the light is still off. Pressing the numlock key a second time turns numlock and the light on.
Comment 7 Fred New 2015-03-10 10:56:35 UTC 
Good catch about it just being the NumLock light, Robert. Estonian keyboard and now Fedora 21 here. As I finish logging in, the light comes back on, but as soon as I press the Windows key (big-L?) the light turns off. If I start gnome terminal or gedit, I can see that the numeric pad still enters numbers.

xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.16.3-2.fc21.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.16.3-2.fc21.x86_64

xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-10.fc21.x86_64
Comment 8 Christopher Beland 2015-04-29 17:24:05 UTC 
FTR, the Fedora 21+ bug is Bug 115909.
Comment 9 Christopher Beland 2015-04-30 17:46:34 UTC 
FYI, with Fedora 22 beta, I can't reproduce this problem with a US keyboard.
Comment 10 Christopher Beland 2015-04-30 18:14:58 UTC 
Correction, I can reproduce now.  Steps listed in Bug 1047151 for Fedora; I'm closing the other one since it mixes too many issues.
