Public bug reported:
My case is a close variant of the following two bugs closely related to
each other:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-
daemon/+bug/885730
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/622965
My usual setting in "system settings ..." / "all settings" / "Keybord
layout" is as follows:
"allow different layout for individual windows" (this allows me
to fluently work in different languages in parallel)
"new windows use the default layout" (this enables me to
concentrate on the new window instead of the last one)
Bug #885730 deterministically reproducable in my case: open firefox,
switch to hungarian but the indicator remains ENG. Then switch back to
ENG, and again to HUN, and starting from this second time not only the
keybord input, but also the indicator reflects correctly the HUN state.
This problem never happens working in terminal window. I do not use
non-ENG in other applications, only in terminal or in firefox.
Bug #885730 has now 4 substatuses: 2 "fix release" dated 2012-03-16, 1
"invalid" and 1 "Won't Fix", this latter I hope is not true for the
current and future releases. My case is essentially different from this
bug: my case looks deterministic and restricted to the first switches.
After the third switch indicator shows the state correctly. However, in
normal work, there is never a second and third switch, hence this bug
causes essentially ALWAYS a missleading language indication.
Bug #622965 dated 2010-08-23 is even older, and my case is essentially
different again, that in contrary to the old deterministically
reproducable bug, right now, I can not reproduce the bug during this bug
submitting period. While this old bug affects me, whenever I work in
normal: usually I have a single terminal window, or rarely a single
firefox window, and when I want to open the other kind of window, then
the bug is there, but for later changes and new window, the bug is
usually not there.
The reason why I can not reproduce the bug during bug report is, that I
can not close the firefox dufing the preparation of the bug report. What
if the problem in my case is in the cooperation of firefox and the
graphical event handling frame system?
I use now 12.10 with all the possible updates, including proposals.
