Steps to reproduce:

1. Install multiple keyboard layouts
2. Use gnome-tweak-tool to set layout shortcut to Alt-Shift
3. Use layout applet to set layout1 active
3. Press Alt-Shift


Expected behaviour:

- Indicator was layout1, now layout2
- Active layout was layout1, now layout2


Actual behaviour:

- Indicator was layout1, now layout2
- Active layout was layout1, still layout1

Which distro are you using? What's the package versions of gnome-shell, mutter and gnome-settings-daemon?
Comment 2 Vanuan 2013-11-13 14:00:48 UTC
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10

gnome-shell:amd64/saucy 3.8.4-0ubuntu5 uptodate
mutter not installed (available for: amd64, i386)
gnome-settings-daemon:amd64/saucy-updates 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 uptodate

Seems like mutter is not used:
$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Ubuntu has some patches in this area[1] so I'm going to ask you to report this bug there first. (it's likely to have been reported already actually)
