Public bug reported:
When the screen locks from inactivity and the keyboard text entry is not
English, I cannot change it back to English, so I cannot enter my
password (which is in latin characters). The language widget is non-
operable. The "switch to next source" key combination doesn't work
either.
Workaround: If I press enough keys ("Ctl-Alt-Del", I think), the screen
flashes (redraws) and then I can use the language widget to change the
language to English.
detailed description:
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 desktop recently and left the default settings for the
screen saver (turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity and lock the screen). I
have added Greek keyboard.
Because of the short screen saver time, I find the screen frequently locks. If
the keyboard is set to Greek, before the screen locked (e.g. because I was
writing a letter in Greek), then it is still Gr in the lock screen. The
language widget menu is not responding.
The language widget works properly if I lock the screen from the power/login
menu (top right corner).
My text entry settings has "Use the same source for all windows" checked.
