Dear Maintainer,
This is a second bug report today, about a related issue, so please
don't mistake it for a dupe.
I use Cinnamon with two keyboard layouts, English and Hebrew. I always
use Alt+Shift to switch between the layouts; and I use layout names
rather than flags for indicating the layout.
After a recent apt-get dist-upgrade, which seems to have updated the
cinnamon packages as well, I first noticed that the Hebrew layout was
gone. So, I added it. Then, I was expecting Alt+Shift to continue to be
the layout switch combination like it had been up to now, but that
wasn't the case. So, I configured Alt+LShift and Alt+RShift to switch to
the next layout.
Now, the bug I'm reporting is that this doesn't work robustly enough.
That is, many of the times I press Alt+Shift - the layout doesn't
switch, and other times it does. And the faster and closer-in-time that
my press of the combination is, the more likely it is to miss; while if
I press Alt, hold it down, wait a half-second, then press Shift down all
the way, then release - that always works.
You might say: "Maybe this is some issue with your keyboard, perhaps the
key press doesn't register if you don't press hard enough." - Well,
that's note it, because:
1. That simply did not happen until the dist-upgrade, and nothing has
changed with my hardware.
2. I tried multiple keyboards (a mechanical Logitech G413 and a
membrane-based MS Wired Keyboard 400), and the effect was the
I have also observed, that if I press Shift first, slowly, and then Alt
- the combination _never_ registers. Perhaps when I press the Shift
extremely shortly after I start press the Alt - the exact ordering of
events (keyups and keydown) is not accepted?
Finally, if you believe that cinnamon-settings-daemon is not the right
package to address this bug report to - please let me know where,
instead, I should file this bug.
Respectfully,
Eyal Rozenberg
