[Bug 1246272] Re: Keyboard layout changing randomly

 

This is increadibly annoying bug. It is not related to ther gnome or
unity. I'm using tiling window manager (dwm), without any desktop
environment. I setup two layouts with switching and altg use, and most
importantly I change Caps Lock to work as controll. Then some random
time passes, BAM! all setings are reset. I manually execute comands to
set correct keyboard settings, then it resets again. I can not track
down what causes this, sometimes i get 5hrs without it triggering,
sometimes it triggers twice in half an hour. It is incredibly
interrupting to workflow. This is ther some X problem or some silinines
in all new deamons being introduced. There were no such problems on
10.04. And for me at least I think that was much much rarer something
like a couple of months ago, but I update raterher rarely so this is
probably of little use.

  Keyboard layout changing randomly

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.
