I do confirm this bug.

If you wish to correct switching key in xorg, you can manage in dconf Editor ../org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-input-source.

I have this bug too.

But switching start working after segfault of gnome-shell...

I found temporary solution. If you press Alt+F2 and input "r" there (to restart gnome-shell), keyboard switching starts to work again. But only in current session. You have to repeat it every time after booting. I hope, that the developers will fix it soon.

Confirmed from me as well. Reloading the shell fixes it for current session.

Works for me too, thanks for workaround.

I have this problem too. It is very difficult to work with two layouts.

Here's patch for Mutter, that fixes this problem. And also modified PKGBUILD with patch included. I rebuilt Mutter with this patch and keyboard layout switching works again.

This bug is fixed by upstream in #ce86f90efbaa51522ba14c5b4cad933c2106de42 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/ce86f90efbaa51522ba14c5b4cad933c2106de42). If you rebuilt Mutter with latest commit, it will be fixed.
