Public bug reported:

I'm using three keyboard layouts in Kubuntu 11.10 that installed in following order:
1) English (US);
2) Russian;
3) Ukrainian

I found that several keyboard combinations to switch layouts has issues
that makes working with system, especially with texts, very
uncomfortable. The main issue is that switching procedure differs from
manner in which keyboard layout installed but there are some other
issues too. Next I'm describing in detail all the combinations and found
issues.

Alt + Caps Lock – with Right Alt + Caps Lock it stops switching on last
layout – UA.


Alt + Ctrl — 1) with Left Alt + Left Ctrl is wrong switching order (US-UA-RU); 2)  with Right Alt + Right Ctrl is right switching order but it stops switching on last layout - UA


Alt + Shift — 1) with Left Alt+ Left Shift is wrong switching order (US-UA-RU); 2) with Right Alt + Right Shift is right switching order but it stops switching on last layout – UA.


Alt + Space – with Right Alt + Space it stops switching on last layout – UA.


Caps Lock (to first layout), Shift+Caps Lock (to last layout) – Shift+Caps Lock switching to RU but must to UA as UA is the last layout.


Ctrl + Shift – with Left Ctrl+ Left Shift and with Right Ctrl + Left Shift is wrong switching order (US-UA-RU)


Left Ctrl (to first layout), Right Ctrl (to last layout) – Right Ctrl switching to RU, but must to UA, as UA is the last layout.


Both Alt`s – not works if first Left Alt and then Right Alt pressed (if first pressed Right Alt and then Left Alt - it works)


Both Ctrl`s – not works if first Left Ctrl and then Right Ctrl pressed (if first pressed Right Ctrl and then Left Ctrl - it works)


Both Shift's – wrong order if first right Shift pressed and than left Shift (US-UA-RU) (if first left Shift pressed and than right – right order)


Right Alt – it stops switching on last layout – UA.


Ctrl+Alt+K. This combination is not working at all. When I press it, the list of layouts, that we can see clicking by right mouse button, changes the view like in picture in attachment (layout.png).
