Public bug reported:
When the gnome-screensaver is activated by either manually locking or by
inactivitiy timeout, and the system has more than one language
installed, it keeps the last one that was active in case I chose "Switch
input sources individually for each window", when it should be treated
as a window of its own, having its own language (or input source, or
keyboard layout, whatever it is called).
Steps to reproduce:
1. make sure you have more than one input source installed.
2. set to "Switch input sources individually for each window".
3. select a window and change the input source.
4. lock the desktop. the gnome-screensaver should come up and ask for password.
5. notice that the input source is the last one active.
6. change the input source to the other one.
7. (this happened to me several times in a row today, but never before) - wait
a few seconds - the input source jumps back to the last active one.
I usually keep two Chrome browsers open, one with English input source
and one with Hebrew input source, and my password is in English. I
almost always type it in Hebrew because that's the last window I left it
on.
