Title:
Keyboard shortcut AND layout indicator for changing keyboard layout
does not work on lock screen
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If I enter the lock screen while Hebrew is set as current input
language, I can't return neither by doing alt+shift or pressing the
clickable layout indicator.
Unlike #1244548 (Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work
on lock and login screen), here it's only the lock screen, and the the layout
indicator doesn't work.
Also unlike #1245398 (Cannot enter non-latin password characters in lock
screen if layout set to english before lock) here the layout indicator IS
clickable, it shows layout change (EN/HE) but practically it doesn't change the
layout (You can see that text direction doesn't change and password isn't
accepted)
Workaround: press "change user" (this can kill running processes on
desktop) and there in login screen it's possible to change layout.
Ubuntu 16.04.01 LTS
