can't change keyboard layout, while typing in synapse window

[Gillean]

Unity default layout changing shortcut (super+space) doesn't work in synapse window. The only option is to close synapse, and open again, after changing layout. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and latest version of synapse from synapse-project repository.

I have the same problem. Doesn't work not only default unity shortcut, but other too. I've tried and Super + Space, and Ctrl + Shift, and Alt + Shift. Seems like changing layout doesn't work at all.

Hello! My solution - gxkb. Now I can switch keyboard layout in Synapse main window (and any place)

Ubuntu 15.10, Gnome Shell - same thing, can't switch languages in Synapse window (any combination fails). gxkb doesn't help.

Please, pay attention to this bug. It must be confirmed.
Synapse in great app, but this is really annoying to Start synapse -> Try typing -> Understand what you don't changed layout -> Close synapse -> Change layout -> Launch synapse again. (:
Add this feature, and you will have personal place in paradise.

The same here on Ubuntu 14.04. Please pay attention to this bug.

Same thing. But I can't switch layout at all. As Eugene said: Start synapse -> Try typing -> Wrong layout (En) -> Close synapse -> Change layout -> Launch synapse again, but layout is En again. Annoying bug? Don't think so - app just unusable.
