[Bug 552493] Re: wrong behavior key in Japanese Layout

[Nobuto MURATA]

It's still reproducible with onboard 0.94.0-0ubuntu2b1 and natty alpha2.

** Changed in: onboard (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: onboard
+ Latest Package Tested: onboard 0.94.0-0ubuntu2b1
  
  In Japanese keyboard layout, there is a key "<" between "Z" and left shift key.

  The key, I guess, is the alternative of the one between "^" and backspace.

  But the key does not behave properly.
  
  How to reproduce:
-  1. set the layout Japan-Japan in gnome-keyboard-properties.
-  2. launch onboard.
+  1. set the layout Japan-Japan in gnome-keyboard-properties.
+  2. launch onboard.
  
  Expected result:
-  the key should be the one which generates backslash keycode, but which is showed as Yen sign "¥" (U+00A5) on keytop.
-  When shift is pressed, the key should be bar key "|".

  Actual result:
-  the key is "<" key. ">" is when shift is pressed. bar "|" when AltGr is pressed.
+  the key is "<" key. ">" is when shift is pressed. bar "|" when AltGr is pressed.
  
  Japanese layout does not have AltGr key in general.
  But actually in onBoard, the key needs AltGr.
  After this change made, AltGr can be safely converted to right Alt key.
