This is by far the strangest bug I have ever seen. I'm in the process of configuring a fresh installation of Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on a Lenovo P50 Laptop. I'm unable to type a lowercase 'K'
. Uppercase worKs fine, as do compose Key combinations involving the letter, but I cannot type it in lowercase.
Now, xev
picKs up lowercase K
Keypresses thusly:
KeyRelease event, serial 78, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x271, subw 0x0, time 584185, (115,103), root:(117,164),
state 0x0, keycode 45 (keysym 0x6b, k), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6b) "k"
XFilterEvent returns: False
Compared to other lowercase Key presses (e.g. b
):
KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x271, subw 0x0, time 620761, (145,166), root:(147,256),
state 0x0, keycode 56 (keysym 0x62, b), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (62) "b"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (62) "b"
XFilterEvent returns: False
I presume that the missing XmbLookupString
for lowercase K
is the culprit, but I have no idea how to fix this.
k
in Compiz (its the "Commands" option right?), nor in Keyboard shortcuts.
