Public bug reported:
In Keyboard Layout settings, you can choose "Allow different layouts for
individual windows". This used to work just fine (in 12.04 and before)
but recently in 12.10 a change has been introduced that makes the
keyboard layout switcher (using a hotkey) ignore this setting.
In effect, when I use my hotkey to switch keyboard layouts, the layout
is switched not just for the active application but all applications at
once. I typically see this when I am in an application like Thunderbird
and switch to another keyboard layout to compose a message, then switch
to a console (that was already open) where I suddenly input in a
different language than when the console opened.
What I expect to happen:
the keyboard layout switcher only affects the currently enabled window
What happened instead:
more windows had their keyboard layout effected, not just the active window
