Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-application

Ubuntu 10.10 beta

I'm using two layouts: English(USA) and Russian.
Sometimes I get mixed layout. Some key prints Latin letters but some prints Cyrillic.
If such situation occurs I cannot change layout nor with defined keys nor with applet itself.

...
But after I started write this bug my computer hanged in 1 minute so it can be probably consequence of other bug like memory leak.

Same problem to me. As I found on http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=111757.0;all, it affects certain users with english/russian layouts.
After some hours of usage get this strange behaviour that makes impossible any input. Seems like two instances of keyboard layouts are running at the same time, so russian and english (and in my case french) inputs get mixed.

This seems to be gnome-settings-daemon bug with memory leak. The process gets up 140Mb+ (normally takes up less then 4Mb). Killing and relaunching it solves the problem for some time.
