It does indeed, just look as the number of comments confirming it. > Also, the "things to test would include" items look like the author hasn't > even > tested the patch, otherwise, he wouldn't have any of those concerns. I went ahead and did the tests grandfather mentioned: (In reply to comment #75) > 1.

Is this now solved? Yes, also some Emacs shortcuts were affected by this bug (e.g. M-> and M-<) and now work fine. I really hope this patch gets committed, the keyboard input *is* broken without it for users who use multiple keyboard layouts. I personally don't mind patching xorg-server manually, but I guess most users do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/36812/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
