With Chromium 35 suddenly all my german Umlaute and ß keys map to english e.g. [;'- instead of üöäß, however other keys still
map to german e.g. z,y etc.

I didn't set LANG etc. in /etc/env.d/02locale, i never did and everything works until now

If i set LANG to e.g. de_DE.UTF-8 everything is okay only Midnight Commander can't use the proper fonts for drawing lines.

I just see that input on the tty (not X) is completely messed up, no backspace, strange key mapping

the /etc/conf.d/keymaps is for years

Code:

keymap="de"

windowkeys="YES"

extended_keymaps="backspace keypad euro2"

dumpkeys_charset=""

fix_euro="NO"


What happened suddenly?

Thanks for any hints

I have the same problem with google-chrome-35.0.1916.114_p1. I'm using finnish keyboard layout and all other keys work as they should except "finnish special letters" Ö and Ä

I solved it by setting LANG in

/etc/env.d/02locale[/

to UTF-8 e.g. for German layout

Code:
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"


Code:
env-update


and restart desktop or better the whole system

additionally installed corefonts and set kde konsole font to Andale mono which supports
UTF-8 line drawing for the midnight commander..
