Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2013-03-05 19:01:47 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

Since gnome-settings-daemon 3.7.91 layout switching using modifiers only doesn't work at all.
Comment 2 Rui Matos 2013-04-02 08:04:09 UTC 
The patch I'm pushing for in bug 697002 should fix this.
