Details

Description:
Very silly/unimportant bug, but previewing my keyboard layout (modified) in systemsettings5, one key is not displayed correctly:
I get "Ú" (Unicode U+DA (hexa)) INSTEAD OF "°" (dead_abovering) in the previewer (tastenbrett 1.0)
whereas the keyboard types the correct layout "°" (dead_abovering)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

In a console and use verbose and/or debug : no debug/verbose mode : /usr/bin/tastenbrett --model asus_laptop --layout fr --variant latin9 --options -title Français \(obsolète, variante\) :
no output (except the window obviously)

How to reproduce the bug : see 'Steps to reproduce:' further
The stack trace : (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces#Getting_the_trace) : see attached file

Steps to reproduce:
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr, replace a key code by "dead_abovering" (see my /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr file, modified from original.)
in kde-plasma, launch /usr/bin/systemsettings5 → Input Devices → Keyboard → Layouts → select fr → variant Français (obsolète, variante) → press "preview" (launches /usr/bin/tastenbrett --model asus_laptop --layout fr --variant latin9 --options -title Français \(obsolète, variante\))
→ TASTENBRETT SHOWS "Ú" (Unicode U+DA (hexa)) INSTEAD OF "°" (dead_abovering)
→ BUT USING KEYBOARD WITH THIS LAYOUT, YOU GET dead_abovering.
if you use my file, the key is "=" ("=/+/}/°" if using nothing/shift/altgr/shift+altgr modifier key)
line 88: key <AE12> { [ equal, plus, braceright, dead_abovering ] };

Hope this will help, even if it's not the biggest bug in history (or maybe it's not a bug, it's a feature, who knows)

Important or not, this has nothing to do with packaging. Please report it upstream.
