Keyboard won't switch its layout to a newly added second input source unless their order is rearranged
No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic
GNOME Shell 3.28.4 (Version: 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.3)
What should happen: Adding a second input source (Russian, in my case) should result in being able to switch to it and use it immediately. What happens now: It is not recognized until you rearrange its order, or reboot.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
-
Have English set as primary language.
-
Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian.
-
Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible in the Top Bar.
-
You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but the text input won't change.
-
Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English secondary.
-
You can now enter text in Russian.
-
You can now put Russian back to being second in the list (so it does not cause problems at logic screen, opening up new browser window, etc.)
or 5. Reboot.
