Confirmed. Same thing after an update from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10. Layout indicator is always present for me on screensaver, but hotkeys (Alt+Crtl) to change layout won't work. Have to click on the indicator next to password field in order to change layout.
In Unity (regular work) switching layouts works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
