kolen (incredible-angst) wrote : Pressing keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout causes temporary loss of focus

When pressing keyboard shourtcut for switching keyboard layout, focus temporary switches from active text input to something else, then restores back when releasing keys used to switch. Maybe even active window loses focus, but window frame does not shows this (window header remains to look active).

For example: when I press ctrl+shift here, when writing this description, yellow frame disappears from text input box, text caret disappears too; they appear again when releasing ctrl+shift. The same occurs in all other programs, i.e. terminal.

It causes serious annoyance, for example in Twitter when losing focus in Reply text box, reply rolls up and I have to click it again with mouse and set caret to correct place each time I switch keyboard layouts.

Other key combinations, not only ctrl+shift, also cause this.
