Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2008:055

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : xkeyboard-config

Date : April 30, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Mandriva Linux 2008.1 introduced an improved Finnish default keyboard

layout called Kotoistus. This layout adds altgr-space as a key

combination for non-breaking space. However, that key combination can

be easily hit accidentally when a normal space was intended instead,

especially after typing the pipe character. This update removes the

new key combination. Non-breaking space can still be typed via the

traditional combination altgr-shift-space.
