Stan, Apparently the crash in Gnome that was preventing it's startup has been fixed. I have tested for this "bug" under Gnome and find that it (the "bug") has gone away. KDE apparently has some bugs outstanding along with one whose component that handles menuing in the desktop and the one (same one?) that handles/registers apps that start up, contains other apps, displays virtual desktops, presents various KDE menus, displays the time of day and some other things. Again, THANKS to everyone who help with this problem, George... ________________________________ From: stan <stanl-fedorauser@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: George R Goffe <grgoffe@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2017 2:15 PM Subject: Re: keyboard producing diacritics (acute accent, dot-above, cedilla-below) On Sun, 16 Jul 2017 13:21:58 +0000 (UTC) George R Goffe <grgoffe@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > System is Fedora 27 x86_64 (rawhide), fully up to date with the > rawhide repo.

I was just using firefox in a fully updated rawhide, and I didn't see this at all. What specifically do you mean by 'text windows'? I assume you mean input dialogs, like the url line, etc. . It is probably a setting you have somewhere, but I don't know where that would be. Have you looked in the configuration for firefox or opera to see if somehow something changed the defaults? _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
