If this adds clarity, these messages for me appear when I switch language keyboard layout. Funny thing, is that when I switch layout, either with META-SPACE or from the panel applet, when using the laptop keyword, the layout stays the same. If I start typing from the external keyboard, the keyboard switches back to English.
For example * start with keyboard layout in English * from the laptop keyboard hit META-Spacebar * the layout indicator switches to Italian layout syslog shows a series of WM warnings like `Jan 11 10:10:57 xxxxx gnome- shell[2533]: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 39 with keysym 39 (keycode 12).` * type keys on the laptop internal keyboard to verify the layout is indeed Italian * then type on external keyboard * syslog shows a new series of WM warnings, identical to the previous series * the keyboard layout is now back to English, while the applet indicator is still showing Italian layout Any clue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857392 Title: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 37 with keysym 37 (keycode 10).
