Comment 99 for bug 1246272

Also happens here in my Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 with Spanish layout. Even though the top bar states that the keyboard layout is Spanish 1 (international), the real layout is wrong, probably en_US.

A workaround this issue is to have two favourite keyboard layouts that will appear in the drop-down when you click on the language icon on your top bar. In my case, I have two spanish layouts and I can easily change from es1 to es2 and then back to es1. The keyboard configuration is now truly es1 which what matches my hardware and I can keep working.

To add a keyboard layout in this drop-down menu just go to System>Keyboard>Layout settings!

Hope that helps until they come up with some true solution.

For a problem this stupid I sincerely don't understand it has been here so long.
