Title:
HUD shows up when switching keyboard layouts with alt-shift
Status in Ayatana Design:
Triaged
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The default shortcut for most scripts to switch between keyboard
layouts is Alt+Shift, or another key combination that includes Alt.
HUD uses the Alt key to pop up.
When trying to switch keyboard layouts, the HUD comes up. The HUD gains key
input, and the keyboard layout does not change. A user needs to press Alt+Shift
again to actually switch layouts, then press Esc to close the HUD.
In terms of usability, it is extremely annoying and unusable.
While Alt + <anykey> can be filtered and does not activate the HUD,
Alt + <modifier key> (such as Shift) is not filtered and activates the
HUD.
The default shortcut to switch keyboard layouts for Greek, Arabic and
Russian (and possibly other scripts), involves the Alt key.
Because Windows have the default shortcut Alt+Shift, the majority of
scripts accept as a default the Alt+Shift shortcut.
Therefore, this is a big issue that must be solved before 12.04.
