Bug Description

[Impact]
Danish Dvorak keyboard layout is just a copy of Norwegian Dvorak created by including the xkb definition for Norwegian Dvorak in the Danish Dvorak section. Apparently Norwegian Dvorak was changed in 12.04 to no longer have the tilde key in the same place. It was correctly placed in 11.10. This is easily fixed by adding the AD12-key from Norwegian Dvorak in 11.10 to the right section in Danish Dvorak in 12.04. This change goes into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/dk. I have attached a patch.

[Test Case]
1. Set the Danish Dvorak keyboard layout
2. Hit the tilde key (between the ' key and the return key on danish keyboards, or the ] key on us keyboards)
3. Hit the tilde key + shift
Broken Behavior: <nothing printed>
Fixed Behavior: ~ ^

[Regression Potential]
The patch only changes the Danish Dvorak keyboard layout for the AC12, so the scope of regression risk is limited to that key for those users.

It should also be noted that when you choose to view the keyboard layout through the system settings, the tilde key for Danish Dvorak is shown as being where it has always been.

Anders Bruun Olsen - I've forwarded this bug upstream to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49312 - please subscribe yourself to this bug, in case they need further information or wish you to test something. Thanks ahead of time!

The patch looks pretty safe, but I don't want to do an SRU for this until it's accepted upstream.

This bug was fixed in the package xkeyboard-config - 2.5-1ubuntu1.3

---------------
xkeyboard-config (2.5-1ubuntu1.3) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add 113_ossmath_is_five_levels.patch: Some keymaps like fr(oss) fail to
    load because they include ossmath (via keypad(oss)) which
    misconfigures the keypad as 4-level when it should be 5-level. This
    patch from upstream bugzilla fixes this by adding the 5th level to the
    ossmath definition.
    (LP: #985065)
  * Drop 109_fr_oss_space_char.patch change; the fix causes behavioral
    changes for right control which a fr(oss) user did not like.
    (LP: #1013881)

xkeyboard-config (2.5-1ubuntu1.2) precise-proposed; urgency=low

xkeyboard-config (2.5-1ubuntu1.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add 109_fr_oss_space_char.patch: Fix problems using space bar in various
    applications when using the fr(oss) keymap.
    (was for LP bug 221112)
  * Add 110_dead_hook_horn.patch: Add two deadkeys on level 3 and 4 of the
    j key for the latin keymap.
