Public bug reported: I have Norwegian set as the default layout, and English as the secondary layout. Suddenly passwords stop working, and if I test my keyboard somewhere my writing is visible, I can see that the English layout is actually the one that is active, even though Norwegian is my default layout and it is the one that is shown as active in my indicator. I never change this (on purpose anyway). Just choosing Norwegian again solves the problem.
This has happened at the Ubuntu login prompt, but it has usually worked fine. I often suspend and then wake the computer again later, and I can't recall experiencing this at that point, but suddenly a login online fails later. It could be that I've hit some key combo, but the indicator still shows the wrong layout if that's the case. I had this same issue with Ubuntu 13.10 (though never before, and as you can see I've been upgrading my Ubuntu since 11.10 or something like that), but I figured it'd probably just be ignored if I reported it since 14.04 was around the corner, but I've already experienced the same with Ubuntu 14.04.
