[Bug 1292014] [NEW] Keyboard layout switcher shortcut doesn't work in lock screen

 

Public bug reported:

I know this bug is known, but I couldn't find a report for it.

After the big change in the lock-screen (unity greeter instead of GNOME-
screensaver) the bug introduced with 13.10 still exists: While in lock
screen, you cannot change keyboard layout by the defined shortcut keys.
My specific shortcut for switching keyboard layout is Alt+Shift
(right/left). This doesn't work when the screen is locked and I want to
enter password for unlocking.
