Just tested simple idea on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS with MATE DE. Out-the-box it has Xorg 1.18.4 which perfectly allow user to set for example <Ctrl+Shift> keyboard shortcut for keyboard layout switching. But when I install HWE on 16.04 LTS I get newer Xorg 1.19.5.
Debian 8 (Xorg 1.16.4) and 9 (Xorg 1.19.2) have this problem too (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891915 ). So versions 1.16.4, 1.19.2 and 1.19.5 should be patched to bring <Ctrl+Shift> keyboard shortcut functionality back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, 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 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
