actually, it doesn't switch layout (at least for me), but it ADDS A NEW LAYOUT instead! let me explain this. I do not use a "plain" en_us layout, but use us+dvorak and ru+dvorak (custom created). so, when "us+dvorak" is active, it adds "us" to the end of the list. when "ru+dvorak" is active, it adds "ru" to the end of the list. when added, new layout becomes selected. also, new added layout is not visible in gui settings, but everyone can see it by command 'setxkbmap -query'.
also, I made a workaround for this crap. 1. set 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false' to switch off defective plugin. 2. to switch layouts, I created keybindinds EMBEDDED into my layout (a new modifier key). 3. installed gxkb to have an indicator of selected layout in the system tray. I restored the lost multimedia keys and other keybindings in compiz settings. -- 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.
