Shoham Peller, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
To clarify, did this problem not occur in a Ubuntu release prior to
16.04?
** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.36
** Description changed:
I have English and Hebrew languages on my computer, and to switch between
them, the key binding is alt+shift.
When my system is on the lock screen (not the switch account screen, lock
screen), sometimes I can't switch languages. I'm trying to switch from Hebrew
to English to type in my password, and when I hit alt+shift, the lock screen
suddenly disappears, and I see my screen for a second, then my screen goes
black for a second, and I go back to the lock screen. The language is still on
Hebrew, and I still can't change it to English.
- To bypass it, I can either change the language using the mouse, or to hit
"switch account" with the mouse and then I can log back in.
+
+ WORKAROUND: Change the language using the mouse, or to hit "switch
+ account" with the mouse and then I can log back in.
