[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
@n0dwis did you use a PPA or everything works fine with the official repo?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
Something broke for me too! Every time I boot the system, my preferred Alt+Shift doesn't work. In `Text Entry Settings`, I can still see my Alt+Shift, but it doesn't work. Erasing the shorctut and setting it again doesn't work. However, the following series of steps makes the shortcut work again: 1) Go to `Keyboard Settings`-Typing-Switch to next source and try to re-set the shortcut from there, see it ignore your keystrokes and get set to `Disabled`. 2) Now go back to `Text Entry Settings` and set Alt+Shift again. After that, the key combo to switch layouts starts working again... until next reboot Unfortunately, I have to do this on every reboot now.
