What happens now: It is not recognized until you rearrange its order, or reboot. [Test Case] Steps to reproduce this bug: 1. Have English set as primary language. 2. Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian. 3. Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible in the Top Bar. 4. You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but the text input won't change. 5. Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English secondary. 6. You can now enter text in Russian. 7. You can now put Russian back to being second in the list (so it does not cause problems at logic screen, opening up new browser window, etc.) or 5. Reboot or re-login (restarting gnome-shell works as well: killall -3 gnome-shell or Alt+F2 > r > Enter) Then install gnome-shell from bionic-proposed, reboot, and find that an added input source now is effective instantly without any of the mentioned workarounds. [Regression Potential] Minimal. The fix consists of a simple upstream commit which has been in use as from GNOME 3.32. [Other info] Screenshots are attached. The bug is easily reproduced as many times as possible.
