            Bug ID: 388662
           Summary: non-breakable space character settings does not work
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: aario.iran at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Steps to reproduce:
1) Enable Persian or Arabic keyboard layout to better see the problem.
2) Type two characters. They stick together.
3) Type one character, press space, type another. They won't stick but there is
a space between.
4) Type one character, press shift+space, nothing happens. Type another
character, they stick together.
5) Go to System Settings> Input Devices> Keyboard> Advanced> Unfold "Using
space key to input non-breakable space character", select Non-breakable space
character at second level.
6) Repeat step 4. Characters again stick together as the "non-breakable space
character" is not working.
7) Try this on libreoffice, chrome and other gtk applications, the key
combination works.

What is wrong:
The "non-breakable space character" settings cannot be enabled and the
shift+space key combination does not work.

What is expected:
Shift+Space should type an invisible space character which separates two
characters in special layouts like Persian and Arabic which stick together
otherwise.

Other information:
Gtk applications work out of the box without need to change settings.
Left Alt, Left Ctrl, Meta key, Right Shift, Right Alt, Right Ctrl, all tried
and non works.
Log out and reboot also didn't help.
