Comment 15 for bug 1388169

I have a similar problem with other applications, like Mozilla Firefox and Eclipse:

If I start e.g. Firefox right after I started Ubuntu, the Firefox window freezes and greys out. I cannot interact with the window. Sometimes, if I try to interact with the window while it is frozen, the Keyboard Input Methods crash, however, sometimes it just works fine without a crash after the window unfreezes.

As stated above, this issue also occures in Eclipse.

If I close and restart the application, the problem does not occur.

Another problem, that is probably correlated is, that sometimes the wrong keyboard layout is used. Since I am a german user I use the german keyboard layout, however, sometimes unity chooses to use the english layout instead, but it still tells me that it uses the german one. If I cycle through the different layouts by pressing super+space to select the german layout again, the right (german) layout ist used.
