Public bug reported: After setting up Alt+Shift keys to change the keyboard layout (via gnome-tweak-tool or via gnome control center), these key combinations do not provide the expected result.
Expected Result: Keyboard layout is changed and keyboard indicator display updates Actual Result: Only keyboard indicator display updates, leaving the actual keyboard indicator in English. I have English-Hebrew keyboard layout configured with alt+shift for layout switching. Once the layout is on Hebrew, alt+shift switches back to English properly. Once the layout is on English, alt+shift changes the keyboard indicator to "he", but actually the systems layout is still English. At this point, pressing Alt+Shift results in changes to the indicator display only, resulting in no actual layout switches. If "Allow different sources for each window" is selected in "Input Sources Options" then: - Changing the layout to Hebrew. - Alt-Tab to another window with a different layout. - Alt-Tab back, allows me to type back in Hebrew. When Alt+Shift "switches" to English: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle When Alt+Shift "switches" to Hebrew: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: il,us variant: , options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle Which seems right. But still when typing, English chars are being typed. I tried this with the packages from the official repos, gnome-ppa, and ppa:attente/1218322 as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/356357/how-to-use-altshift-combo-to-switch-keyboard-layout-in-13-10 All with the same effect.
