Title:
Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not
work well with shortcuts (reopen)
Status in X.Org X server:
Confirmed
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This is a reopen of bug #36812, which has reappeared in Kubuntu 17.04
Zesty Zapus.
This is a bug about shortcuts mapped to combinations which include
each other.
For example, if we have Ctrl+Shift (for keyboard layout) and Ctrl+Shift+N (to
open a new terminal), then we are practically unable to use the second
shortcut; this is what happens:
Ctrl press (nothing happens)
Shift press (keyboard layout change)
N (a simple N appears, since a shortcut has already fired)
The expected behavior is to fire shortcuts on the release (not on
press) of the special keys (ctrl,shift,alt, etc) which is also how
Windows behave. This is a serious problem for bilingual layouts,
typically using Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift for keyboard layout change.
Apparently, the bug has reappeared after the patch that used to fix
the problem (208_switch_on_release.diff) has been removed from X.Org
1.19 packages. There is an updated patch in the upstream ticket
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 (link to the
attachment: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=129861).
