#38 UBUNTU + Russian Language

[Anonymous]

I got a problem with changing keyboard from russian to english and back.

When i switch a language, the language id changes on login screen, however, only one language is being accepted. Either russian or english.. (which one is accepted seems to be picked randomly).

Basically i can either type russian characters or english. When i can't type english, whenever i press an english character nothing happens, but if i press other keys e.g. Tab - it works ok.

This little bug makes this client completely useless :( I could stick to Ubuntu, and never had to go back to windows if this bug is fixed.

On top of it, the caption of connection window is in weird characters. see screenshot1.

i confirm.

in other words, if shortcut for switching keyboard is the same on windows then pressing shortcut will cause switching keyboard on both (linux and win) systems. but when host system switched to non-latin layout, win keyboard just stops working.

workaround: switch keyboard with mouse
