Bug Description
Hello,
I have a problem where keyboard layout change stops actually switching the keyboard input layout.
Ubuntu version: 20.04.1 LTS
Desktop environment: Gnome 3.36.3 (Ubuntu desktop)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Plug an external USB keyboard
2. Log in to your ubuntu-desktop session
3. Change layout => works properly
4. Unplug USB keyboard and plug it again
5. Change keyboard layout => Problem
Expected behaviour:
Changing keyboard layout through GUI to change keyboard layout from French to English.
What happened instead:
The GUI indicates that the layout changed. However when typing text into any window, the layout actually does not change.
This problem also happens when the computer goes to sleep as it disconnects USB devices.
Once the external USB keyboard is disconnected, the only way to get it to switch layout is by logging out and back in.
If you could point me out to what logs would be useful and where to find them, I could provide you with more information.
Note:
It is worth noting that I am using an external USB keyboard on my laptop. Unplugging the keyboard fixes the problem once it happens. However re-plugging it causes the problem to instantly happen again.
