Title:
Keyboard layout switcher doesn't work when I log in using the login
screen
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have two keyboard layouts enabled on my PC, "English (USA)" and
"Russian", they are switched by pressing Alt+Shift (the default).
If automatic login is enabled and I get logged in when the system
starts, without entering my password on the login screen, everything
works.
However, if automatic login is disabled and I log in by entering my
password then the keyboard layout indicator disappears from the panel
and keyboard layout won't switch when I press Alt+Shift. Basically,
I'm stuck with the EN-US layout until I enable automatic login and
reboot.
The same problem happens if I log in automatically but then log out
and log in again manually.
This does NOT happen when I block the screen and then unblock it
(although I have to enter the password), nor when I block the screen
and then switch users. Also, when I start a guest session, the layout
switcher always works normally there.
I've tried creating additional user accounts and the problem repeats
in all of them.
I'm sorry I can't select the right package, but I don't know what
causes this behavior.
