So, seb128 asked me a week ago to take a look at this and I've now reached it on my TODO list.
I'm new to this issue and, since so many people seem interested in this ticket, it made me wonder if someone could help walk me through this issue: The steps in comment #4 look like a good starting point, but step three says "ensure that the layout is us" -- how is that done, exactly? And how would I manually set an arbitrary window's (not just a terminal's) keyboard layout? In Gnome Control Center > > Keyboard Layout, it appears whatever language I move to the top of the list becomes the active layout. This appears to be applied on a global basis, rather than a per-window one. (It's also not reflected in Ubuntu's keyboard indicator ;) Is this accurate? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885730 Title: keyboard layout indicator reacts incorrectly Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Invalid Status in Ubuntu network, Bluetooth, keyboard menus: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hi there, there are few bug reports similar to this one but from their description I feel like this is a little different. I use three different keyboard layouts, switching between them with shortcut and having "Allow different layouts for individual windows" option enabled. In this configuration layout switch should be processed when shortcut is triggered or when I switch to another window. Moreover "to switch layout" means two things. Firstly it means to switch keyboard mappings themself and secondly to change what layout indicator shows. The problem itself: mappings which is used is often not the same as indicator shows. I experimented a little to find out what is wrong and now I see that the mistake is in processing switch-window event which always changes mappings used but doesn't refresh what indicator is showing... Sometimes it's quite annoying as nearly all bugs reported here :) This is my first bug report ever so correct me or reguest mroe info if I have fogotten something.
