Happens here, but there is no workaround as the OP mentions, it never works for me.
I have a laptop configured with Portuguese ABNT2 model/layout and installed an external usb US keyboard. I go to keybord properties, add a new layout (US intl with dead-keys), add the layout switching panel, change the layout through the panel, and all typing is in third-level (as with altgr pressed). Even removing and adding again the layout does not fix it. Only way to get a new layout working is with "setxkbmap us intl", which loads the correct layout for the usb keyboard. Also, I'm not using autologin, as reported on other bugs. -- second layout gets mixed up with third-level of first layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
