Title:
Shift key for keyboard layout switching confuses lock screen
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I'm running latest Trusty with all the updates as of today.
I am using Shift+Shift_R as the keyboard switching mechanism, and it
seriously confuses the keyboard layout switcher in the lock screen:
whenever I press a Shift key to enter an uppercase letter of my
password, letter is typed using the current layout, but then the
layout switches
To reproduce:
1. Have multiple keyboard layouts configured (I've got 3: en, sr, sr(latin))
2. Set Shift-Shift to be the keyboard layout switcher, eg. using
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source
"['<Shift>Shift_R']"
3. Lock screen
4. Try to type something using the Shift key while on the lock screen.
5. Watch how the keyboard layout keeps changing after you release the Shift
key: layouts are changing in the reverse direction: en goes to sr(latin) and
that goes to sr
FWIW, if I change the keyboard switching keybinding to eg.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source
"['<Alt><Space>']"
I don't see the problem anymore.
