Public bug reported:

I boot with the current Ubuntu MATE 18.04 daily live CD. I select Greek
on syslinux, "Try Ubuntu before installing", and I start the Ubiquity
installer.

At the step where I'm supposed to type my full name, for example "Διαχειριστής" 
(administrator), I can't switch my keyboard layout to Greek. Neither Alt+Shift 
nor the panel applet allow me to switch.
Note that there are 2 panel applets, MATE's and fcitx's, and both have entries 
for Greek and English, but when I click on Greek, nothing happens.

If I switch to any other application, like e.g. mate-terminal, I can
properly switch to Greek. But, if I go back to Ubiquity, I automatically
get switched back to English.

If I exit fcitx from the panel, then everything works fine in Ubiquity as well.
If I rerun fcitx, the problem starts again, so it's completely reproducible.

Btw, is fcitx supposed to be running in the Greek locale? Or is this an 
additional issue with im-config?
And is it normal to have 2 applets for keyboard layout selection?!
