Title:
CAPS LOCK as keyboard switch indicator does not change status during
login time
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When CAPS LOCK key is used to switch keyboard layout, CAPS LOCK
indicator is usually displays the switch status (in case of bi-
language keyboard this is simply English/Other_language idicator).
During login time (via unity-greeter/lightdm) caps is working fine
(switching language) but shows no indication of used language, wich
cause many useless attempts to enter login in wrong language.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Add additional language to system (in my case it was Russian)
2) Set up CAPS LOCK as keyboard layout switcher
3) Log off
4) Switch language by pressing CAPS LOCK
Expected:
a) input layout switched to other language (in my case Russian)
b) CAPS LOCK keyboard indicator is lighten up
Actual:
a) input layout switched to other language
b) NO caps lock indication
This problem is substantial, because default login window have no idication
of current layout and no input field with visible input (password is shadowed
by '*' signs). so user have no idea which language is active.
I'd like to point to microsoft windows logon screen, where language is
clearly displayed nearly input field to solve this uncertainty.
