Well, if you have "Russian language keyboard layout" you will enter Russian characters. How do you expect a "Ctrl + z" to work then? You need to configure other shortcuts which match what you can enter if there is no way to access the latin characters.

I expect it to work like in all other software

Replying to stoecker:
It's an issue with latin character also. Ctrl + z doesn't with German layout

[anonymous]

Sorry. It's an issue with latin characters also. Ctrl + z doesn't work with German layout

Just an observation: on Windows keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V work perfectly in JOSM(sic!) regardless of keyboard language.

just switch, bro!

Also works on my Mint Cinnamon. wrong distro, bro!

Yes, I have just tested it on xfce and works as it should. Looks like a typical wayland issue.

Reopen?

[stoecker]

It has nothing to do with JOSM. The mapping is done way before JOSM gets the data.

Then how does other software do it?
