Public bug reported: - Configure 2 keyboard layouts: - default: english - secondary: something else - Set your password to something containing non-english characters - Switch keyboard layout to English - Lock screen - Now you can't change keyboard layout on lock screen (hotkey does not work (#1244548) and there is no clickable layout indicator), so you can't enter password and unlock.
For some reason, clickable layout indicator appears on lock screen only if non-english layout (or non-default layout?) is active before locking screen.
