Bug 60160

Same problem here with Czech (qwerty). Sometimes reported as "fi", sometimes as "de" and once even reported as header of .po file:

Confirmed, forgot to mention or better, described this not very well. Characters with diacritics do not work, same as Martin wrote.

What is the version of GNOME are you using?

Also, could you please provide setxkbmap -print?

Gnome version 3.6.3

output of setxkbmap -print for xkeyboard-config-2.7.1:

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+cz(qwerty)+cz:2+us:3+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

for xkeyboard-config-2.8.1:
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

Gnome 3.6.2

xkeyboard-config-2.7.1:

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+eurosign(e)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

Please try to configure your keyboard using

setxkbmap -layout cz,us -option ''

Will cz layout work in in that case?

I suspect it is GNOME 3.6 which is the worst release from XKB POV.

$ setxkbmap -layout cz_qwerty,us -option ''
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+cz(qwerty)+us:2+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

now cz(qwerty) works as expected (until I switch layout with gnome again)

My best regards to GNOME folks.

Thank you for your help.
