Title:
  switching input method is not reliable

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Baltix:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Under GNOME Shell, sometimes the input switcher popup (accessible via 
Super+Space by default) doesn't allow switching beyond the second input source.

  [Test Case]
  Under GNOME Shell, open gnome-control-center > Region & Language > Input 
Sources > + > Add at least two input sources (I use us, ru, and gr). Then open 
gnome-control-center > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typing > Switch to next source > 
Set to Super+Space.

  Try pressing Super+Space to pop open the input switcher. Then press
  Super+Space again. The input switcher might not switch the second
  time. It happens unreliably, so if it works, restarting gnome-
  settings-daemon may allow reproducing the bug.

  [Regression Potential]
  The reason this is happening is because of an old patch that enables input 
switching for non-GNOME desktops (Unity, GNOME Flashback) by handling it in 
gnome-settings-daemon. But GNOME Shell handles it itself, so 
gnome-settings-daemon's shortcuts may be conflicting with GNOME Shell's 
sometimes. The fix is to remove it, which is ok because that code isn't used by 
those other non-GNOME desktops any more (they use unity-settings-daemon 
instead). For that reason, there should be low risk of regression.

  ------

  The behaviour of switching input method is strange.
  There are 2 ways to change input method. And both behave against expectation:

  1. super-space: When hitting super-space, the system can only switch from 
English to Chinese. But not the other way round.
  2. indicator: When switching language with the indicator, I can select both 
language. But the indicator is always showing "en".

  OS: Ubuntu 14.04
  Input Method: English (US), Chinese (Cangjie)
