When i switch between two keyboard layouts this does not affect to program. Indication in tray say that layout change but input still in english.

Ubuntu 16.04 TLS (unity) Linux 4.4.0-59-generic #80-Ubuntu SMP. Qt 5.5.1

Try use release and build from source. Install all needed packages from Readme. Please fix it. I can't use program because of this. default default

Hi @GremL1N

What exactly is not working? Can you give me an example of your workflow, please?

I try input to field "<Enter or select issue>" Russian word for search, but when my layout is Ru it still print just english character. Or when i try input to field "Search in issue list" in Issue selector the same is happens. In Issue creator i also can input only English symbols. Qt 5.5.1 default

Oh, I see. I have never used any characters except English and German characters.

Do you have the same problem when using one of my binaries (built with Qt 5.7)? For example, the latest pre-release: https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer/releases/download/v1.2.1-pre6/redtimer-v1.2.1-pre6-linux-x86_64.deb (Ubuntu package)?

Hmm, this works on macOS at least. I will install an Ubuntu instance to test it there as well.

Did you try to restart RedTimer after switching the input language? Do Cyrillic symbols work in other applications?

Best regards Frederick Thomssen

Yes i restart soft and reboot OS. I try your release. Change layout works fine at all other soft. But i did mistake. When i build from sources i run your release instead, which was installed earlier in system. My bad, sorry :) Builded from sources work fine! Your release still not work, but i think you may close issue if you want. Add keyboard settings screen to topic.

I think you need to add some menu item which show all info about program build and dependencies. It would be conveniently and informative (to you) when attach this info to issue (on github). For example: Redtimer: version build OS: Name/bits version, kernel Libs: qt version and etc

Thanks for your input. I will check whether I have to include another library to enable Qt to use different keyboard layouts.

About the information dialog, I will create a new issue. Thanks for the suggestions.
