Created attachment 361313 [details] gnome-control-center screenshot Hello, i'm trying to configure layout switching but with no luck. I want to use 'grp:shift_caps_switch', so i configured it in gnome-tweak-tool, and it looks like this: > gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.input-sources org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources false org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options ['grp_led:scroll', 'grp:shift_caps_switch', 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'] org.gnome.desktop.input-sources per-window true org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current uint32 0 org.gnome.desktop.input-sources mru-sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru')] org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru')] gnome-control-center says 'alternative switch is - caps to first, shift+caps to last layout' (on screenshot) setxkbmap shows three layouts instead of two, and expected options: > setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us,ru,ru variant: ,, options: grp_led:scroll,grp:shift_caps_switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle When i press Shift+Caps or Shift+Alt - Scroll Lock blinks, but keyboard layout does not changes. One time during update everything was freezed, i was unable to move windows or switch between them, i pressed Shift+Caps, and Scroll Lock indicated layout was changed, then i press Caps - Scroll Lock changed to off, layout was changed again. I suppose something that is blocking layout switching was frozen when everything else is freezed. One more thing: this is on my desktop, where i use Xorg. But on my laptop with Wayland it works as expected.
I configured wayland on my desktop and it works as expected too.
Any news on this one? Can i help to solve this in some way? I would want to use xorg, becouse with wayland i can not use nvidia drivers.
I can reproduce this bug consistently, all i need to do is 1. create new user. 2. log in using "Gnome on Xorg" session in GDM. 3. set up layout switching to Caps-Shift+Caps in gnome-tweaks>Keyboard>Advanced. 4. try to switch layouts; it does nothing.
