Title:
Keyboard won't switch its layout to a newly added second input source
unless their order is rearranged
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
What should happen:
Adding a second input source (Russian, in my case) should result in being
able to switch to it and use it immediately.
What happens now:
It is not recognized until you rearrange its order, or reboot.
[Test Case]
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Have English set as primary language.
2. Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian.
3. Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible
in the Top Bar.
4. You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but
the text input won't change.
5. Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English
secondary.
6. You can now enter text in Russian.
7. You can now put Russian back to being second in the list (so it does not
cause problems at logic screen, opening up new browser window, etc.)
or 5. Reboot or re-login (restarting gnome-shell works as well:
killall -3 gnome-shell or Alt+F2 > r > Enter)
Then install gnome-shell from bionic-proposed, reboot, and find that
an added input source now is effective instantly without any of the
mentioned workarounds.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal. The fix consists of a simple upstream commit which has been
in use as from GNOME 3.32.
[Other info]
Screenshots are attached. The bug is easily reproduced as many times
as possible.
