I have the same trouble - swiching occurs on press, but not on release. I looked events with xev utility:
$ xevKeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 52934768, (315,42), root:(1081,421), state 0x2000, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 52935785, (315,42), root:(1081,421), state 0x2004, keycode 50 (keysym 0xfe0a, ISO_Prev_Group), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False PropertyNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, atom 0x161 (XKLAVIER_STATE), time 52935792, state PropertyNewValue <--- layout changes here PropertyNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, atom 0x161 (XKLAVIER_STATE), time 52935796, state PropertyNewValue KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 52936895, (315,42), root:(1081,421), state 0x4, keycode 50 (keysym 0xfe0a, ISO_Prev_Group), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 52940025, (315,42), root:(1081,421), state 0x4, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ... Is it possible to fix this? To move switch to KeyRelease event? -- Ctrl+Shift and other layout switching combinations stop working as modifiers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
