(Get the code!)
Jacob,
despite Canonical's fault is that it hasn't even mentioned this bug, they cannot provide assistance for it.
"So it is not an issue in the input-output code, it is a bigger issue - in the
XKM format. This causes problems when configuration is passed through binary files."
"This problem is very visible now - the default GNOME switcher Alt-Alt is broken
- because virtual modifiers RAlt/LAlt are not passed to X server."
These quotes are taken from the upstream bug report https:/
which explains why this bug couldn't be fixed before 8.04 shipping and also before Xorg 7.4. It seems to be requiring a relevant architecture change in the keyboard manager subset.
I'm also waiting for it to be fixed. If some Canonical dev can help the guys at Xorg would be a nice contribution for the whole community since this bug has a relevant major impact on the user experience.
