additional layout options screenshot

Description of problem:
after upgrade gnome-shell from 3.33.2-1.fc31 to 3.33.3-1.fc31 stop working:
1) layout switching in X session
2) Num Lock switching not synchronized in Wayland session

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Last working version: 3.33.2-1.fc31
First broken version: 3.33.3-1.fc31

Steps to Reproduce:
1)
- install secondary layout
- install gnome-tweaks
- set additional layout options for switching to another layout for "Ctrl+Shift" combination or "Caps Lock"
- log in X session
- try switching between layouts by "Ctrl+Shift" combination or "Caps Lock"

2)
- log in Wayland session
- make sure that by default "Num Lock" LED is light
- try enter number in gnome-terminal on the numeric keypad

Actual results:
1) layout not switched by "Ctrl+Shift" combination or "Caps Lock"
2) numbers not printed in the terminal

Expected results:
1) layout switched by "Ctrl+Shift" combination or "Caps Lock"
2) numbers printed in the terminal
Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-08-18 12:42:39 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 31-beta by Fedora user mikhail using the blocker tracking app because:

 Added to blocker because this is a very annoying bug for users who use several layouts.
The default gnome combination "Super+Space" is not comfortable for users who use additional layout options for switching to another layout. 
For me new version of gnome-shell unusable because I need frequently switching between several layouts.
Comment 2 Geoffrey Marr 2019-08-26 15:58:54 UTC 
-1 blocker because AFAICS this does not violate any blocker criteria.
Comment 3 Geoffrey Marr 2019-08-26 16:09:50 UTC 
Is this a new "feature", i.e. in the changeset from 2-1 to 3-1?
Comment 4 Geoffrey Marr 2019-08-26 18:10:51 UTC 
Discussed during the 2019-08-26 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker" and an "AcceptedFreezeException" was made as we find that these issues do not violate the criteria. We tested in-meeting that configuring the layout switch key combo via the Control Center works in both Wayland and X11. FE is granted to any confirmed layout switching config issue with tweak-tool.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2019-09-16 18:43:28 UTC 
Is this still broken in 3.34 (now in updates-testing)? Has anyone reported it upstream yet?

yes
Comment 7 Hedayat Vatankhah 2019-09-21 14:28:54 UTC 
For me, Alt+Shift switching doesn't work. But "CapsLock while pressed" works. Really annoying.
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2019-09-23 17:18:25 UTC 
So, this bug came up today:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1754373

and I'm wondering if this might actually be related. Are the affected shortcuts ones that use keys that are in different positions on the different layouts?
Comment 9 Artem 2019-09-24 07:25:39 UTC 
Workaround: restart gnome-shell by pressing:

Alt+F2
r
Hit Enter

Yeah! I just discovered it and was going to post it here (was not 100% sure though) and saw that you've said too. I confirm the workaround works!
Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2019-10-29 00:23:36 UTC 
Can anyone confirm whether this bug is still present in F31 as it will be released - https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/31/Fedora-31-20191023.0/ ? Thanks!
Comment 12 Hedayat Vatankhah 2019-10-31 07:09:30 UTC 
I tested at least once with latest updates in F31 Beta, and it didn't happen. I'll try more and let you know if problem persists.
Comment 13 Mikhail 2019-10-31 07:14:30 UTC 
On Rawhide bug is not produced anymore.
Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2019-10-31 14:37:53 UTC 
OK, thanks. Rawhide is not really ahead of F31 ATM, AFAIK, so let's figure this is fixed.
