I'm using CapsLock to switch keyboard layouts, and I'm also affected by this bug. I believe that now the priority of this bug is underestimated, because most of the people use one and sometimes two layouts, so they may not face with this problem often and assume that it's not so important. But when you live in a bilingual country and use 3 layouts all the time (I'm using UA/RU/EN), this problem becomes super annoying. For me personally, it's the biggest reason why I'm not going to upgrade Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04 on my work PC.
I came here from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790335, and it seems like that bug is also a duplicate of the current bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754702 Title: Delay before you can type after switching input source Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In ubuntu 18.04 I installed different keyboard languages: spanish latin american, japanese, japanese-ibus. To change the input method you press the selected key, and an indicator menu appears on-screen to indicate which language is selected next. The menu disapears after 2~3 seconds and during which time typing is blocked. If you type while the language input method menu is displayed, the menu will not disapear and stay as long as you type. The language input menu should not block typing, and the disapearance of the menu should not be delayed by typing.
