mapping problem : “go back” button opens a dialog box in 12.10

Question

I just made a fresh install of 12.10 and the "go back" or "previous page" button on my keybord (lenovo thinkpad), opens a dialog box when used with firefox.

How can I avoid this?

Thanks

Answer 1

I used this command:

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

to reset the keyboard layout and choose another layout. Now it is ok.
