I checked with the last Groovy I found 45 minutes ago and the bug is
still there in French-Belgian language/keyboard layout.

Title:
  [20.04] Keyboard layout not enabled immediately during installation
  when typing username/password

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, selecting Norwegian keyboard
  is provided and keys are responding correctly at that stage. But later
  when entering user information the keyboard setting is wrong.

  It looks like it have fallen back to English keyboard-layout.
  I failed to log in after my first install, so a new attempt I tried to write some special letters in the name field, and noticed that I got the wrong characters for the key.

  The install is done i VMware workstation 15.

  In the attached screendump, the characters (';[":{) after my name
  should have been (æøåÆØÅ) that is norwegian characters.
