I have a similar version of this bug. It's happened since I upgraded from 13.10 (64-bit) to 14.10 and it causes the layout to reset to EN_US qwerty every time I click on any text box.
I only have EN_US Dvorak and EN_GB qwerty enabled, with dvorak as my default, so EN_US qwerty is not even enabled. Yes, I am certain it is EN_US qwerty and not EN_GB qwerty,as the symbols are arranged differently. As I type using Dvorak, and only have qwerty enabled in case others need to use the system (because our keyboard isn't a dvorak-printed one), this bug makes the system effectively useless for anything beyond light media consumption, for which I use my phone anyway. The iBus solution, as well as being useless for my particular scenario, doesn't appear (at a glance, mind you) to have any effect whatsoever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just upgraded from 12.04 (raring) to 12.10 (saucy) and keyboard layout keeps changing from pt_br to what I think is en_us. It seems random so I don't know what trigger this, but sometimes just alt-tabbing is enough to mess with keyboard layout in one of the windows. I already removed the en_us from my keyboard sources, double checked the use of one source for all windows, and even removed accelerators to switch between layouts but none have worked.
