[Bug 1025508] Re: Some keys in keyboard layout show duplicate character labels

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks James, do you know what commit created the issue?

The patch seems a bit hackish and I'm not sure to fully understand the
logic ... do you just stop the top_left symbol and then compare the
symbol to be displayed to that one? I'm not really familiar with the
code but I guess we could start by uploading to raring and see how it
goes if it's hard to get an upstream review (could be useful maybe to
ping on the upstream bug...)
