Comment 17 for bug 1246583

I also confirm this in LibreOffice 3.6.3, and it is really annoying to change keyboard to En, only to use a shortcut and then change it back to whatever it was and then continue.

I use Fedora, but this problem was not occurred in Fedora 17 or Windows, as they both use a different keyboard handling method than Fedora 18 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs#Installer_does_not_automatically_set_up_multiple_keyboard_layouts_and_switch_command). But now in Fedora 18, lots of program are affected by this change.

Applications such as gedit, nautilus, fileroller (Archive Manager) which are parts of gnome act like before, which means there is no difference which keyboard layout is currently active, the keyboard shortcuts work OK. But other applications usually is not the same, like LibreOffice, Zim, Blender, ... .

So, I don't know where the problem is, but as (let say native) gnome applications are working fine, so there must be a way to solve this problem with others.
