I am used to shift+shift combination for layout switching. When I set 'shift+shift L' for switching, in unlock screen right shift does nothing, and pressing only left shift (without any other keys) changes layout.
When I set 'shift+shift R' for switching right shift starts switch layouts alone in unlock screen. And when I set 'Alt + shift L', Alt and then Shift works OK, and Shift then Alt does not. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

[Test Case] 1. To make things uncomfortable, switch layout to Russian or any other with your favourite shortcut(i am using alt-shift) 2. Lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l 3. Try to change layout back to English to enter password Expected: Layput should change and you should be able to login without touching anything but keyboard. What's happening: Nothing, doesn't react on the keyboard shortcut, you have to change layout using indicator on top panel. [Regression Potential] 1. There may potentially be missing keyboard shorts. 2. Key grabs may persist after the lockscreen has been released. 3. new code contains dynamic memory allocation, which always introduces potential leaks, crashes, or exhaustion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1291461/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
