If your system has one user only, and you add an XKB input source via Settings, /etc/default/keyboard is also updated instantly. It's per design; no need to restart anything. > This may explain why rearranging the order of input sources > magically fixes the bug: newly added input sources probably need to > be put into defaults once to be recognized later. Nope. When testing on 18.04, I added an additional user, so /etc/default/keyboard did not get updated. It behaved the same way. The input source settings for the user don't need to be synced with /etc/default/keyboard. I saw that your upstream issue was closed. If you want to help solve the problem on 18.04, I would suggest that you look at upstream commits in gnome-shell and/or gnome-control-center which might be related. After all we know that the issue is not present in focal (GNOME 3.36). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890875 Title: Keyboard won't switch its layout to a newly added second input source unless their order is rearranged Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: 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: 1. Have English set as primary language. 2. Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian. 3. Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible in the Top Bar. 4. You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but the text input won't change. 5. Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English secondary. 6. You can now enter text in Russian. 7. 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 or re-login (restarting gnome-shell works as well: killall -3 gnome-shell or Alt+F2 > r > Enter) Screenshots are attached. The bug is easily reproduced as many times as possible.
