[Bug 1246272] Re: Keyboard layout changing randomly

 

Also happens here in my Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 with Spanish layout. Even
though the top bar states that the keyboard layout is Spanish 1
(international), the real layout is wrong, probably en_US.

A workaround this issue is to have two favourite keyboard layouts that
will appear in the drop-down when you click on the language icon on your
top bar. In my case, I have two spanish layouts and I can easily change
from es1 to es2 and then back to es1. The keyboard configuration is now
truly es1 which what matches my hardware and I can keep working.

To add a keyboard layout in this drop-down menu just go to
System>Keyboard>Layout settings!

Hope that helps until they come up with some true solution.

For a problem this stupid I sincerely don't understand it has been here
so long.

Bug description:
  Just upgraded from 12.04 (raring) to 12.10 (saucy) and keyboard layout keeps changing from pt_br to what I think is en_us.
  It seems random so I don't know what trigger this, but sometimes just alt-tabbing is enough to mess with keyboard layout in one of the windows.
  I already removed the en_us from my keyboard sources, double checked the use of one source for all windows, and even removed accelerators to switch between layouts but none have worked.
