How to fix this keyboard bug in Minecraft?
Andrew Mclaughlin
After a while of not playing Minecraft I reinstalled it on my Ubuntu machine. I created my creative world and everything seemed to be fine. However, when the world loaded in, I couldn't move at all. I tried to change between different keyboard layouts, but that didn't help. I decided to go into the controls menu to change my walking keys manually to WASD. That did something, because when I pressed "W" I did walk forward. However, when I released the key I didn't seem to stop. Only when spamming the WASD did I stop, but that would render the keys unusable again and I would have to set the keys again manually to WASD to move a little bit. I suspect that this is an Ubuntu or Java issue. I am using a non US keyboard.
EDIT: I have been testing this in 1.12.2, and when I tested it in 1.14.4 it was working properly. I prefer 1.12.2, so would it be possible to somehow fix this bug and be able to play with that version?

move the us keyboard layout to the top of the layouts list (keyboard settings -> keyboard layouts) so UBUNTU will know that the us layout is "standart".
