Bug Description
When CAPS LOCK key is used to switch keyboard layout, CAPS LOCK indicator is usually displays the switch status (in case of bi-language keyboard this is simply English/
During login time (via unity-greeter/
Steps to reproduce:
1) Add additional language to system (in my case it was Russian)
2) Set up CAPS LOCK as keyboard layout switcher
3) Log off
4) Switch language by pressing CAPS LOCK
Expected:
a) input layout switched to other language (in my case Russian)
b) CAPS LOCK keyboard indicator is lighten up
Actual:
a) input layout switched to other language
b) NO caps lock indication
This problem is substantial, because default login window have no idication of current layout and no input field with visible input (password is shadowed by '*' signs). so user have no idea which language is active.
I'd like to point to microsoft windows logon screen, where language is clearly displayed nearly input field to solve this uncertainty.
