Hello,
I use two keyboard layouts: us (English) and il (Hebrew).
I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy about a week ago, and ever since, Ctrl+<Key>s have strange behavior in some applications.

In Terminal, when I press Ctrl+C, it just writes 'ב' (which is the letter in Hebrew that shares a key with 'C'). Similarly, when I press Ctrl+D I get 'ג'.

In OpenOffice 2.4, Ctrl+<Key>s just don't work when I'm on the Hebrew layout. Same in Firefox 2 (but in the latter it's been this way before Hardy).

Is there a way to fix this situation? In Gutsy it was alright.

This is the keyboard section in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

could it be that the system uses "Ctrl" key as drag window hot-keys

please set another key for that purpose, eg: (super) key

Thanks, but I don't see how that make 'ב' show instead of 'C'.

Also, it appears that Alt is he drag-windows key, not Ctrl. Which file sets that?

Okay, the OpenOffice problem got fixed somehow (perhaps temporarily) when I closed it and opened it again.

The Ctrl-Key-Hebrew-switching problem in the Terminal still persists.
