Description Dmitry Shachnev 2015-09-03 15:30:31 UTC 
I am using CapsLock key to switch between keyboard layouts (en and ru) in GNOME.

In Wayland session, when I press CapsLock, the indicator updates, and if the current window is native Wayland client, then the layout switches correctly. However if the current window is an XWayland client (i.e. Firefox), it keeps using the previous layout, no matter what it was.

If I switch the layout using the indicator drop-down menu, or using switch-input-source shortcut (i.e. Super+Space), it works fine. So only modifier-only switching is broken.
