** Description changed: + [Impact] + Under GNOME Shell, sometimes the input switcher popup (accessible via Super+Space by default) doesn't allow switching beyond the second input source. + + [Test Case] + Under GNOME Shell, open gnome-control-center > Region & Language > Input Sources > + > Add at least two input sources (I use us, ru, and gr). Then open gnome-control-center > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typing > Switch to next source > Set to Super+Space. + + Try pressing Super+Space to pop open the input switcher. Then press + Super+Space again. The input switcher might not switch the second time. + It happens unreliably, so if it works, restarting gnome-settings-daemon + may allow reproducing the bug. + + [Regression Potential] + The reason this is happening is because of an old patch that enables input switching for non-GNOME desktops (Unity, GNOME Flashback) by handling it in gnome-settings-daemon. But GNOME Shell handles it itself, so gnome-settings-daemon's shortcuts may be conflicting with GNOME Shell's sometimes. The fix is to remove it, which is ok because that code isn't used by those other non-GNOME desktops any more (they use unity-settings-daemon instead). For that reason, there should be low risk of regression. + + ------ + The behaviour of switching input method is strange. There are 2 ways to change input method. And both behave against expectation: 1. super-space: When hitting super-space, the system can only switch from English to Chinese. But not the other way round. 2. indicator: When switching language with the indicator, I can select both language. But the indicator is always showing "en". OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Input Method: English (US), Chinese (Cangjie)
