I cycle through layouts via shortcuts set by "Switch to next/previous source using:" settings in Text Entry. In my case, they are the defaults, [Super+Space] and [Shift+Super+Space] respectively. Anyway, when I change the shortcut to something else (I tried [Shift+Alt_L]) and the same bug still occurs.
I tried using indicator menu to switch layouts too. The similar thing occurs: if I switch to JP from TH from indicator menu, it has the same effect as if I cycled to JP from TH. But if I switch to JP from EN using indicator menu, it is working fine as if I did the same thing through the shortcut.
This bug occurs consistently.
More info:
It seems that the actual keyboard layout does not change when I switch from TH to JP. That is, when on Anthy (or Mozc), if I press a key that corresponds to a Thai alphabet (on Thai layout), that same Thai alphabet appears. However, if I press a key that corresponds to some symbols on Thai layout that Anthy or Mozc knows how to deal with, then dropdown pops up as if Anthy (or Mozc) is working.
For example, assume that I did [TH → JP] and I'm currently on JP (Anthy). If I press F (ด on the Thai layout), then the letter ด appears. But if I press 3 (- on the Thai layout), then "ー" pops up as a suggestion as if Anthy is working fine.
