Bug Description

I have two keyboard layouts enabled on my PC, "English (USA)" and "Russian", they are switched by pressing Alt+Shift.

When I try lock screen and change layout by Alt+Shift the screen freezes for a few seconds, then flashes once, as if the graphics crashed, then reappears, but the layout is not changing.

However, I can change the layout with the mouse, or use a standard shortcut Super+Space.

Quick info how to enter again:
1. Press Switch user button
2. Enter user and password, note: keyboard layout already (always?) EN
3. As there no cursor - type some text on gedit/terminal, then mouse cursor will appear on moving
