[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
18.10, bug is still here! It's a very basic experience - Ubuntu with Gnome3 can't make even such simple basic things work! What can we say about other things, if user can't change keyboard layout in a proper way? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Unknown Status in Ubuntu Flashback: New Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu GNOME Flashback: New Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-control-center package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-control-center package in Baltix: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Gentoo Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-control-center package in Mandriva: Unknown Bug description: [Impact] Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift, Caps Lock, Alt+Shift, etc. Shift, Caps Lock keys are just ignored in settings. [Test Case] - open gnome-control-center's text input settings - click on the "next layout key" entry - try entering a combination of two modifier keys such as Ctrl+Shift -> the UI should reflect the new keys - add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry settings - press and release Ctrl+Shift -> the current input source should change [Regression Potential] That UI was not working before, it should only be an improvement (some key combos are not working as expected, that's another issue and shouldn't be mixed with this one) The input switching shortcut might capture other non-modifier shortcuts, but users will need to consider this when choosing their switching shortcut anyways.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1244090] Re: Pressing any global keyboard shortcut causes temporary loss of focus
Should be hight priority bug. A lot of input fields have some behaviour for loosing focus. E.g. search field in gedit disappear when changing keyboard layout, guake with autohide is unusable because of this bug, a lot of web applications have problems etc. In fact, now there are a lot of annoying problems with using two or more layouts in Ubuntu, so comfortable work in system is impossible. If such bugs in desktop components haven't hight priority, which should have it? -- 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/1244090 Title: Pressing any global keyboard shortcut causes temporary loss of focus Status in gnome-settings-daemon: Confirmed Status in Project Hamster: New Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Fedora: Unknown Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in openSUSE: Won't Fix Bug description: When pressing any global keyboard shourtcut (configurable via System settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts; i.e. for switching keyboard layout, volume up/down), focus temporary switches from active text input to something else, then restores back shortly. Maybe even active window loses focus, but window frame does not shows this (window header remains to look active). For example: when I press ctrl+shift here to switch keyboard layout, when writing this description, yellow frame disappears from text input box, text caret disappears too; they appear again when releasing ctrl+shift. The same occurs in all other programs, i.e. terminal. It causes serious annoyance, for example in Twitter when losing focus in Reply text box, reply rolls up and I have to click it again with mouse and set caret to correct place each time I switch keyboard layouts. Other key combinations, not only ctrl+shift, also cause this. It is especially annoying when using keyboard layout switch shortcut handled by the same subsystem (media-keys plugin): case SWITCH_INPUT_SOURCE_KEY: case SWITCH_INPUT_SOURCE_BACKWARD_KEY: do_switch_input_source_action (manager, type); break; (Original gnome-settings-daemon, from which unity-settings-daemon was forked, does not use media-keys plugin to switch keyboard layout). -- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. -- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-session 3.9.90-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Oct 24 11:42:19 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-23 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1244090/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
