This bug was fixed in the package unity -
7.2.0+14.10.20140512.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.2.0+14.10.20140512.4-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * lockscreen/LockScreenAccelerators.h: added required header for
    std:vector definition
  * disabled precompiled headers on arm64 Ubuntu package builds (LP:
    #1317276)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Set the max width, so our static text wraps. So we don't end up
    rendering text out of the view area. (LP: #1312749)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * UnityScreen: toggle activation of all the unity compiz actions when
    locking the screen Also, make sure that the lockscreen views are
    treated as "always-on-front" windows by nux (and this applies to
    both visibility and events).
  * PanelService: emit an invalid EntryActivated signal if the menu
    hasn't actually been shown In addition, if the menu is not visible
    after the first popup call, try to show a menu without keyboard
    focus. This will make possible to see menus also when there's a key-
    grab (although they will be without keyboard support). Finally,
    reset the menu state, if that failed.
  * UnityScreen: always paint the lockscreen above, just add menu and
    onboard as exceptions Some code cleanup, factorizing similar code.
    (LP: #1313280)
  * UnityScreen: don't try to show Dash/Hud if the screen is grabbed
    Also move the dash opening out from LauncherController, and get rid
    of UBus as first initialization source, as it can only slow things
    down here. (LP: #741869)
  * PluginAdapter: make sure we don't try to call an invalid
    initiate/terminate callback function (LP: #1221673)
  * DebugDBusInterface: match properties if they are in the AP array
    form [<type>, <value>] (LP: #1307748)

  [ William Hua ]
  * Add proper support for modifier-only shortcuts on the lock screen.
    (LP: #1291461)

  [ Jinkyu Yi ]
  * Dash: Fix problem at checking blacklisted unicode range (LP:
    #1251193)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Add a warning in the session dialog if other sessions are still
    open. (LP: #1281058)

Title:
  Lockscreen: keyboard layout switching shortcuts not working

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  New Unity Lockscreen has the same problem as the old one from Gnome: the chosen keyboard shortcut is not switching keyboard layouts on it, the only way is to use mouse.

  [Test Case]
  1. To make things uncomfortable, switch layout to Russian or any other with your favourite shortcut(i am using alt-shift)
  2. Lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l
  3. Try to change layout back to English to enter password
  Expected:
  Layput should change and you should be able to login without touching anything but keyboard.
  What's happening:
  Nothing, doesn't react on the keyboard shortcut, you have to change layout using indicator on top panel.

  [Regression Potential]
  1. There may potentially be missing keyboard shorts.
  2. Key grabs may persist after the lockscreen has been released.
  3. new code contains dynamic memory allocation, which always introduces potential leaks, crashes, or exhaustion
