GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 695238
input-sources-switcher ignores modifier keypresses if Shift released first
Last modified: 2013-04-02 08:04:09 UTC
I have "Left Alt+Shift" selected as my modifiers-only source switching shortcut. I've noticed that the gsd-input-sources-switcher sometimes ignores the shortcut depending on the order I release Alt and Shift. Specifically, it ignores the shortcut if I release Shift while still holding Alt. Since I usually just press both keys at once, the release order is more-or-less random, meaning about half of my attempts to switch the layout are ignored. +Alt +Shift -Shift -Alt: ignored +Shift +Alt -Shift -Alt: ignored +Alt +Shift -Alt -Shift: accepted +Shift +Alt -Alt -Shift: accepted gnome-settings-daemon 3.7.90-52-g20b7828
Since gnome-settings-daemon 3.7.91 layout switching using modifiers only doesn't work at all.
The patch I'm pushing for in bug 697002 should fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 697002 ***
