Unfortunately the fix doesn't work as it should. I can change keyboard layout on lockscreen but when the screen unlocks the keyboard layout switches to witchever layout was set when locking tha screen. For example if I lock screen with layout set to English or Persian and then change layout on the lockscreen to Polish and unlock screen the layout will be set to English or Persian not Polish.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Change keyboard layout to Persian 2. Lock the screen 3. Change layout to Polish 4. Unlock the screen Expected after unlocking the screen keyboard layout is set to Polish. What is happening the layout after unlock is set to Persian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

[Test Case] 1. To make things uncomfortable, switch layout to Russian or any other with your favourite shortcut(i am using alt-shift) 2. Lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l 3. Try to change layout back to English to enter password Expected: Layput should change and you should be able to login without touching anything but keyboard. What's happening: Nothing, doesn't react on the keyboard shortcut, you have to change layout using indicator on top panel. [Regression Potential] 1. There may potentially be missing keyboard shorts. 2. Key grabs may persist after the lockscreen has been released. 3. new code contains dynamic memory allocation, which always introduces potential leaks, crashes, or exhaustion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1291461/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
