Bug ID: 519821
Summary: Clearing the default "Switch to Next Keyboard Layout"
shortcut leads to inconsistent behavior in the Lock
Screen
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If switching keyboard layouts is configured via the "Legacy Shortcuts" to "Both
Shifts together", clearing the default "Switch to Next Keyboard Layout"
shortcut leads to incorrect behavior, only observed in the Lock Screen. While
in the rest of the system it behaves correctly, in the Lock Screen pressing
just a single Shift (either one) changes the layout. This might make it
difficult to enter the password if it contains capital letters.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings -> Keyboard
2. Add at least two keyboard layouts
3. Clear the default shortcut for changing the layout
4. Click on "Configure Switching"
5. In "Legacy Shortcuts" section, configure "Change layout" to "Both Shifts
together"
6. Apply the changes and lock the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing either Shift individually changes the keyboard layout.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only both Shifts together change the keyboard layout.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
