Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.8+2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Installed debian 7 on my w500 tablet and tried to sign in to gmail using my
password
it failed due to the N key output as n on the virtual keyboard
(after altering gdm settings to use gnome-shell no fall back mode via ssh)
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
tried other virtual keyboards and they worked allowing me to login okay but was
unable to kill matchbox-keyboard without resorting to the terminal to pkill
matchbox
tried upgrading system to testing and that failed
   * What was the outcome of this action?
was able to login but the bug with the gnome virtual keyboard remains
also found that keys e,c and n sufer the same bug
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
uppercase E, C and N
not tried other distros with gnome3/shell to see if it has been fixed as I've
only just got the screen saver working and don't want to lose hours of
installation work
