Internal Links: 1589008

Description Christian Stadelmann 2018-06-06 12:50:30 UTC
Description of problem:
A regression in version 2.24 causes unexpected keyboard layout changes in a multi-keyboard-layout setup under GNOME/Wayland.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xkeyboard-config-2.24-1.fc28.noarch is broken
xkeyboard-config-2.23.1-1.fc28.noarch works fine

How reproducible:
always on my machine/keyboard layout setup

Steps to Reproduce:
0. update xkeyboard-config to 2.24
1. log in to a GNOME+Wayland session
2. start any XWayland application, e.g. `GDK_BACKEND=x11 gedit`
3. type anything
4. start any pure wayland application, e.g. `gedit`

Actual results:
Wrong keyboard on step 2, correct keyboard layout on 4. This is reproducible for all applications, including firefox.

Expected results:
keyboard layout must be the same for wayland and XWayland applications. XWayland keyboard layout must be the keyboard layout I configured.

Additional info:
$ localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: de-neo
      X11 Layout: de,de,us
     X11 Variant: neo,nodeadkeys,

My keyboard layouts are:
de-neo (German Neo2; the default), de nodeadkeys (default german keyboard layout), us

I have the same issue with xkeyboard-config-2.24-1.fc28.noarch and:

$ localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
                  LC_NUMERIC=pl_PL.UTF-8
                  LC_TIME=pl_PL.UTF-8
                  LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8
                  LC_PAPER=pl_PL.UTF-8
                  LC_MEASUREMENT=pl_PL.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: pl
      X11 Layout: pl

Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2018-06-06 23:47:11 UTC
I think this one fixes it, but i'm not quite sure yet why it only affects XWayland. Can you please give this a test?

Comment 3 Peter Hutterer 2018-06-07 04:07:04 UTC
Ok, this turned out to be an issue in xkbcomp, but triggered by the additions in xkeyboard-config 0.24. Fix coming up.

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2018-06-07 04:34:11 UTC
Either of the above will fix the issue. The real fix is in xorg-x11-xkb-utils but let's revert the two patches that matter in xkeyboard-config in the meantime until the xkbcomp fix has been in stable for a while. Unfortunately there is no direct dependency we can introduce here through RPM.
