I'm working with the mscore-devel-version 3.0 (MuseScoreNightly-201709071127-master-3319f3a-x86_64.AppImage) under LINUX Fedora-26. My Keyboard is a german keyboard, running correctly with all my installed applications, but not with mscore-3.0, for example if entering staff text: y and z are inverted, aso.

No such problem with mscore-2.0.

See problem report https://musescore.org/en/comment/781526#comment-781526.

Title mscore-3.0 is unable to use german keyboards ⇒ mscore-3.0 is unable to use german keyboards on Linux

Seems Linux (or AppImage?) specific, it works as it should on Windows 7 and 10

Seems to be a wayland problem: running my session without wayland (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE results with "x11") will run with the correct keyboard type, but if the ENV variable $XDG_SESSION_TYPE has the value "wayland" (running a wayland session), then z and y are inverted.

So my workaround: if running mscore-3.0, do this in a X11 session.
