Public bug reported:
When I originally upgraded to Saucy, I encountered the same bug many
reported with using modifier-only combinations to switch keyboard layout
(but 1218322?). Thankfully, that was swiftly resolved with suggested
updates (I didn't employ any special ppa solution back then, but rather
temporarily used a combination I wasn't used to).
However, lately I've noted that whenever I restart Ubuntu my designated
combination of ALT+SHIFT L stops working to switch layout. It's still
listed as the combination in "Text Entry Settings > Switch to next
source" and in "Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typing > Switch to
next source", but it doesn't work. However, if I use either console to
designate a new combination (doesn't matter which), then return to
ALT+SHIFT L, it works again (for the duration of my session).
This bug is unrelated to modifier-only combination: the same behavior is
exhibited when I choose ALT+= for my combination (on new session,
combination is still listed, but doesn't work until it is reset).
However, this *doesn't* happen when I use 3-key-combinations like
ALT+SHIFT+Q or ALT+SHIFT++.
To be clear: this is a relatively new bug (last month, for sure). I was
happily using ALT+SHIFT L for some time now.
To replicate this bug:
1. Go into "Text Entry settings".
2. Click on the combination for "Switch to next source", hold ALT then click
and release =.
3. Log out, log back in.
4. Hit ALT+=. The layout should change to the next source, but (for me, at
least) it doesn't.
