Public bug reported:

Hello.

Having two layout setup, input controls in different places (email text
in Chrome, new folder naming upon creation) cancels the input like if I
press Esc.

I tried different hotkeys for switching: Caps Lock, Ctrl+Shift,
Alt+Shift. They all produce the same effect.

I didn't see any suspicious output of evdev though.

This is another problem to the box of layout switching problems. I don't
know if they're related, but they all appear together with Ubuntu 14.04
I think. (First, I couldn't setup Caps Lock, and it is still not smooth
enough. Switching is not instantaneous, so I have to wait a second or
such until it will actually switch. Sometimes Caps Lock doesn't switch
the layout, but locks caps).
