Keyboard layout indicator shows wrong layout

[Sergey Zolotarev]

I have two keyboard layous: English (en) and Russian (ru).

The problem is that when I switch to either of those via the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift in my case), the layout indicator shows the opposite layout. That is, I'm typing English letters, but it shows "ru"; likewise, when it shows "en" the input language is actually Russian.

If I switch laoyout through the indicator itself, the language is set correctly.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same problem after Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 clean installation. Shortcut "Modifiers-only switch to next source"(allow set combinations like "Shift+Alt") works incorrect. "Switch to next input source" and "Switch to previous input source" works fine, but doesn't allow set combinations like "Shift+Alt" through GUI.

Workaround. Disable "Modifiers-only switch to next source" and manually set "Switch to next input source" and "Switch to previous input source".

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Alt>Shift_L']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source-backward "['<Alt>Shift_R']"

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 15.10 with the latest Gnome 3.16.4-0ubuntu1. 2 keyboard layouts switched using modifiers only (Alt-Shift)
