Description Ivan 2016-08-05 18:40:28 UTC

I have two layouts. English as primary and Russian as secondary. When I assign right Alt key to switch between layouts it can only switch to Russian. No matter how many times I press it afterwards, there is no way it will switch back to English.
Left Alt works as it should
With Win key I have even worse situation: it does not change layout at all(neither when hold nor when presset several times). 
I found this bug more than 1 month ago. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set Right Alt or any Win key to change keyboard layout. Have two layouts: English(primary) and Russian(secondary)
2.Press or hold any of those keys
3.See layout changed

Actual Results:  
Layout did not change.

Expected Results:  
Layout  changed both to Russian from English and then from English to Russian

First found problem with Right Alt and switched to Right Win, but now neither of those work.

Thanks for the report Ivan. I've just tested this on systemsettings 5.20.2 and I can't replicate the issue. I was able to toggle between layouts with right alt.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.

Thanks for testing. It's been a while since this bug disappeared, however long enough for me to forget about the report. I've tested key combinations on systemsettings 5.20.3 and everything was working too. Lets close this ticket and thank you again for your efforts.
