To the SRU team:

I skipped kinetic. Not only because I'm lazy, but also because of limited importance.

The "Alternate Characters Key" control can be assumed to be used by relatively few users. And those who use it typically do it as a one time setting. If a user of an updated jammy (including this fix) upgrades to kinetic, their setting will be kept even if the UI in some cases will say something else.

So while I think it's worth the effort to fix this bug in our latest LTS, it's not worth the hassle of a kinetic SRU.

Hello Gunnar, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-control-center into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/1:41.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I accomplished the steps in the test plan using gnome-control-center{,-data} 1:41.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.6 from jammy-proposed. Issue fixed as expected.
