Bug Description
I'm running latest Trusty with all the updates as of today.
I am using Shift+Shift_R as the keyboard switching mechanism, and it seriously confuses the keyboard layout switcher in the lock screen: whenever I press a Shift key to enter an uppercase letter of my password, letter is typed using the current layout, but then the layout switches
To reproduce:
1. Have multiple keyboard layouts configured (I've got 3: en, sr, sr(latin))
2. Set Shift-Shift to be the keyboard layout switcher, eg. using
gsettings set org.gnome.
3. Lock screen
4. Try to type something using the Shift key while on the lock screen.
5. Watch how the keyboard layout keeps changing after you release the Shift key: layouts are changing in the reverse direction: en goes to sr(latin) and that goes to sr
FWIW, if I change the keyboard switching keybinding to eg.
gsettings set org.gnome.
I don't see the problem anymore.
