<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/629887> claims that there is no indication of the current layout at all, this bug is about the keyboard layout in the panel and in the dropdown menu being out of sync.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure more than one keyboard layout

2. Click on the keyboard layout indicator to open the menu

3. Discard the menu (press Esc)

4. Switch the layout with a keyboard shortcut

5. Back to Step 2.

Actual results: layouts in the dropdown and in the panel are out of sync.

I can confirm that the steps given by Ilja lead to menu being out of sync.

Also it reproduces with the steps of bug 658338, see my comment there.

is that still an issue?

As with gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.1-0ubuntu5 and indicator-application 0.2.91-0ubuntu2 on Natty, it has become actually worse. Now the layout indicator shows always the primary layout. The dropdown menu is still out of sync when using a keyboard shortcut to switch layouts.

This new issue is fixed with gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.1-0ubuntu6 and indicator-application 0.2.93-0ubuntu4. The original bug (layouts in the dropdown menu and in the panel are out of sync) is still there.

the issue described there was fixed, the menu items selection not matching the layout is bug #682075
