André,

thanks for making me ring a bell in my head.
my desktop (running 13.04) is set to PT-BR, if I change language to US
the keyboard start acting strange as on others PC.
 Setting to PT-BR my netbook and notebook solved the problem but I
need an English setup here. And have a keyboard that change behavior
with the language is not the best.

@Nio:

could you gently try to set your system language to Swedish to see if
the keyboard starts acting fine? I'll wait your reply then I'll update
informations on Launchpad.
