Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 18.04 I have two keyboard layouts set, US QWERTY and BE AZERTY
(the latter one being the original layout of the laptop keyboard). On
the login screen I have the option of switching between language from
the selection menu in the top right corner and I can also change it by
using super+space. However, when changing the layout, it shows it is
changed, but it does not actually change. The layout remains the first
one, despite the drop-down menu showing otherwise.
This can be very problematic when one has to type the password to login,
as it was for me, since my password contains a special symbol which is
not present on the QWERTY layout. I managed to still log in using
unicode input, but this may be a severe problem to users with less
experience.
