When I execute
(quail-set-keyboard-layout "pc105-uk")
quail text input methods (e.g thai-kesmanee) cease to work. (I
actually encountered the error when coding up a Khmer keyboard.) When I
should get the lower character key on a letter key I get the upper
character, and when I type a shifted character I get the character from
another key.
A key diagnostic is that (length quail-keyboard-layout-standard)
returns 180 (6 rows of 15 characters with 2 shift positions), but
(length quail-keyboard-layout) returns 181 after setting the keyboard.
The other keyboard names (in the version of Emacs 23.1 from which I am
reporting) all yield lengths of 180 characters.
The bug appears to be that in the definition of
quail-keyboard-layout-alist in quail.el, there is an extra space in the
first non-blank line of the keyboard definition of the pc105-uk
definition. This bug is also present in Emacs 22.1 (by examination of
quail.el) and Emacs 23.2 (demonstrated on Windows 7).
A work around in my .emacs file (for Emacs 23.2, confirmed on Emacs
23.1) is the sequence
(quail-set-keyboard-layout "pc105-uk")
(if (> (length quail-keyboard-layout) (length
quail-keyboard-layout-standard)) (setq quail-keyboard-layout
(concat (substring quail-keyboard-layout 0 60)
(substring quail-keyboard-layout 61
(length quail-keyboard-layout)))))
This chops out the superflous character. Keyboard then works.

Thank you for the report. I've just installed a fix in
emacs-23 branch.
