Bug Description
When I lock my desktop and the gnome-screensaver password prompt is displayed, I see that the last active layout has been remembered and I cannot change it until the desktop is unlocked.
However if the active layout was not the English one, I cannot enter the password and I have to use C-A-Bksp to restart the whole session (and this obviously drives me mad :) ).
To post a comment you must log in.
yes I can verify the same behaviour here too :( --however a work around for this is to click "Switch User" then you're taken to the login screen where you can change your language and login without loosing your session
