Bug Description

Caps Lock (to first layout), Shift+Caps Lock (to last layout) don't work properly. It switches between "first" and "second" layout not between "first" and "last" as it was in 10.10. So if you are using more then two layouts ( that useful for Canadians, Russians, austrians, students and tranlators ) it is quite annoying always to choose third languege by mouse clicing .

Note: Will appreciate any suggestions to determine which package it is.

HOW to call/to see a bug (sorry for my english, so ask questions if you misses something):

1. go "System settings - keyboard - layout settings"
2. Add few layouts to increase their quantity to 3 layouts. ( for example english+ russian+ukrainian )
3. than press "Properties" button, choose "keys to change layout" and set "Caps Lock (to first layout), Shift+Caps Lock (to last layout)".
4. Close all settings windows.
5. In any text field, addres bar or text editor try to type. "Caps Lock" causes choosing of first language. "Caps Lock + Shift" chooses second. But if you will first choose "first" language, type somthing, than choose by mouse "third" language ( that is "last" now) type somothing you will see that Caps / caps+Shift switches between "first and second layouts" according their oder in a layout list, not between "first used and last used layout".

Bug presents for all users: admins, regular users, guest users ets.
I am not sure to what package it relates because it affects a lot of them, so I marked it as "gnome-control-center" related, as settings it affects appears in gnome-control-center.
