I attached patch from ArchLinux AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages /xorg-server-bug865/, https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree /freedesktop-bug-865.patch?h=xorg-server-bug865 ). This patch is stable and reliable. ArchLinux users are happy with it.
It fixes current bug on Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS. I have tested it with <Ctrl+Shift> keyboard layout switcher on GNOME (DESKTOP_SESSION="ubuntu") and MATE desktop (DESKTOP_SESSION="mate"). Please kindly review it and consider applying it before official final release of 18.04 LTS. I'm ready to test proposed packages which (I hope) you would create. As the result Ubuntu users will be as happy as ArchLinux's users. ** Patch added: "Patch for Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS, it fixes the problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1245473/+attachment/5072326/+files/freedesktop-bug-865.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245473 Title: Binding ctrl+shift, alt+shift, etc for switching keyboard layout makes shortcuts with ctrl+shift, etc not working in any program Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in GNOME Shell: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Fedora: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Tried only with ctrl+shift, maybe behaves the same for other modifier key combinations when used as shortcut for switching layouts. - Set ctrl+shift as shortcut for switching keyboard layouts - Try to use ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+shift+c in Terminal -- it doesn't work (actually Terminal window loses focus when ctrl+shift is pressed, and layout is switched) ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 28 16:40:02 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-23 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1245473/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
