Also happens here in my Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 with Spanish layout. Even though the top bar states that the keyboard layout is Spanish 1 (international), the real layout is wrong, probably en_US.
A workaround this issue is to have two favourite keyboard layouts that will appear in the drop-down when you click on the language icon on your top bar. In my case, I have two spanish layouts and I can easily change from es1 to es2 and then back to es1. The keyboard configuration is now truly es1 which what matches my hardware and I can keep working. To add a keyboard layout in this drop-down menu just go to System>Keyboard>Layout settings! Hope that helps until they come up with some true solution. For a problem this stupid I sincerely don't understand it has been here so long. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
