I did a build applying the patch (fortunately no GTK 3 build was required) and I was testing with one offending netbook.
The crash no longer happens when using the patched onboard version, and I noticed that after I ran and added a letter with accent at least once with the patched version, the onboard version from the repositories also works. However, there is a bug where the keyboard layout changes as I write it and some letters add the wrong characters. The attached video shows the problem, notice what happens with the "ç" character. ** Attachment added: "Video showing the keyboard layout problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1809737/+attachment/5303916/+files/newonboard2.mkv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809737 Title: Onboard crashes the entire desktop (Xorg crashes in _XkbSetMapChecks xkb.c:2387) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1809737/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
