Bug description:
[Impact]
* An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and:
Setting the 'Input Source Options' to 'Allow different sources for each
window' does not work.
* justification for backporting the fix to the stable release:
This is a bug in Ubuntu Bionic's version of gnome-flashback (3.28)
(because the GUI lets the user change the input source option but the backend
does nothing)
[Test Case]
* detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
- Set Input Source Options to Allow different sources for each window in
gnome-control-center -> Region & Language -> Options
- Realize that if you set different layouts for different windows it does
not change automatically when changing windows.
[Regression Potential]
* Metacity now ignores its own events when predicting focus changes.
Its own events are recognized by comparing timestamps and serial
numbers. If something potentially goes wrong, it can either not ignore
its own events, or ignore external events. In both cases the focus
prediction will be broken. Also there could be potentially a race
condition, but the patch protects against it by making a dummy request
with bumped serial number. (Note: the second metacity patch is an
amendment for the first one, so the previous analysis applies to both
patches.)
* GNOME-Flashback has some new code for handling per-window input
sources. The change_per_window_source() function returns early if the
sources_per_window option (obtained from GSettings: org.gnome.desktop
.input-sources per-window) is false. As that option is false by
default, in the default configuration most of the new code won't be
executed at all. The potential breakage may happen if it is set to
true. Such potential breakage includes: wrong input sources handling
(it was wrong before anyway), gnome-flashback crashes. The patches are
already applied in Cosmic, and currently no crashes are reported
against the Cosmic version of gnome-flashback on errors.ubuntu.com.
[Other Info]
This needs fixes in both gnome-flashback and metacity.
Here are the relevant commits in gnome-3-28 branches:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/commit/b96341dabffc3589 (ensure that
we ignore our own focus events for focus predictions)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/commit/9956d376d38d0ad6 (fix problems
with focus tracking)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/commit/3c4c6ecddef48cd5
(implement per window input sources)
The gnome-session-flashback dependency on metacity will be bumped.
