Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

On an up-to-date Feisty
Always reproducible, here are the steps:

1) Open nautilus,
2) Type ctrl-z,
3) nautilus closes immediately.

gdb says "Program exited normally."
Valgrind (as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind) says nothing.
When running it from a terminal, "echo $?" says "0".
So I can't give much logs, I hope you guys can reproduce it at home.

Thank you for your bug. Are you sure that's not the window you are using which is closed? Do you have different keymaps configured? That looks like bug #23244

Changed in nautilus:
assignee:	nobody → desktop-bugs
importance:	Undecided → Medium
status:	Unconfirmed → Needs Info

result of xev when pressing ctrl-z Edit (6.7 KiB, text/plain)

It is always reproduceable, even after reboot.
Sebastian, from your questions I guess that it does not happen on your side ?
So it must be some special configuration on my side.

I didn't change any shortcut key bindings.
I have SCIM to occasionaly type Japanese characters.
On Friday my friend come over and she added a Japanese keybord layout, which I unchecked a bit after. So now my layout look like:

Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
France (checked)
Japan (unchecked)
Separate group for each window (checked)

I have to go to work, this evening I will reset my keyboard layouts and let you know.

I changed my keyboard layout to this:

Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
France (checked)
Separate group for each window (checked)

And now ctrl-z has the correct behaviour.
Conclusion: Having a second (unchecked) layout makes a difference, even if it i never chosen (fresh new session). I don't think that is intended.

I agree that this is kind of a duplicate of #23244.

However, this bug is not about "Multiple Latin layouts in XKB".
My original title "ctrl-z makes Nautilus exit" is bad as well.

So, we have to find a name that would better represent the bug.
I would humbly suggest something like "Gnome applications confused by previous layout" or "Selected layout not used by some Gnome applications".
Sebastian, you are familiar with the 7 duplicates so I think you are the right person to find a good name, feel free !

Cheers,
Nicolas.
