gnome-settings-daemon ver. 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11.2 from trusty-proposed fixes
several keyboard layouts switching problems in GNOME Shell, please upload this
version to trusty-updates ASAP.
Only one issue left in Trusty GNOME Shell - sometimes keyboard layout indicator
stops work when keyboard layouts (input methods) are removed or keyboard
shotcuts to change input methots are changed, but this issue disappears after
restarting GNOME-Shell :)

switching input method is not reliable

Bug description:
[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)
