keyboard layout wrong for various applications
Last modified: 2024-07-10 09:51:15 UTC
Created attachment 875987 [details] Log of text session using xterm as example not working Fresh install of openSUSE Leap 15.6 - Gnome, Wayland System is set to German and German keyboard layout. Gnome/GTK application seem to use correctly German keyboard layout. Other applications like e.g. Chrome, Thunderbird using US keyboard layout. Using Yast -> Hardware -> Keyboard (or in German Tastatur) the keyboard setting is German. Using the textbox, it is using US (QWERTY) not German (QWERTZ) layout. Switching back and forth via any other layout the textbox is using German layout (QWERTZ). Using now already running Chrome, it is using now German Layout. No restart needed, which hints for an issue in Wayland/X. Unfortunately the setting is not surviving a reboot nor an logout/login. xterm as well suffers from the issue. I will attach a log of my changes. It seems we do not set the correct keymap for X/Wayland but just for GTK. The issue seems to be present for more users and seem to hit as well upgrades - See: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/wrong-keyboard-layout-on-most-applications-after-fresh-install/175773
