Title:
  Shift key for keyboard layout switching confuses lock screen

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm running latest Trusty with all the updates as of today.

  I am using Shift+Shift_R as the keyboard switching mechanism, and it
  seriously confuses the keyboard layout switcher in the lock screen:
  whenever I press a Shift key to enter an uppercase letter of my
  password, letter is typed using the current layout, but then the
  layout switches

  To reproduce:

  1. Have multiple keyboard layouts configured (I've got 3: en, sr, sr(latin))
  2. Set Shift-Shift to be the keyboard layout switcher, eg. using 
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Shift>Shift_R']"

  3. Lock screen
  4. Try to type something using the Shift key while on the lock screen.
  5. Watch how the keyboard layout keeps changing after you release the Shift key: layouts are changing in the reverse direction: en goes to sr(latin) and that goes to sr

  
  FWIW, if I change the keyboard switching keybinding to eg. 

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source
  "['<Alt><Space>']"

  I don't see the problem anymore.
