Dear Maintainer,

After latest update:
can not unassign super key from overview action
can not assign super key to swith keyboard layout
due to onscreen indicator, swithing layout become very slow.
If you localize something, it slows things down a lot

Hello,

unfortunately your report was filed against the "general" package
(which is not a real package) and lacks any info that could be used
to route it to a real package.

Please provide at least the Debian version you are running, which
(graphical) desktop you were using, and in which programs this
problem appears.

If possible please reassign this bug to the package you suspect
changed and caused the problem to appear.

If you need help with this, please see
https://www.debian.org/support for user support venues.

HI
See attached screenshots
This problem appear in Gnome shell
I guess this is rather a conflict between Gnome and X settings.
I make some discussions about this
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8368
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/troubles-with-keyboad-layout-switching/28491

Generally problem solved, but by indirect way

Andrey

Hi gnome-shell Maintainers,

looks like this bug report is for you. There are screenshots
attached in the original mail (but they are also in the linked
URLs).

Switching the keyboard layout is too slow for me, too. I use the key combination LeftWin+Space to switch between 4 layouts. During switching, other keystrokes get eaten up. For example, when I switch (from another encoding) to German and immediately start pressing (and releasing) the keys in the top letter row of the keyboard from left to right, skipping the leftmost Tab key, I get

tzuiopü+

The top letter keys in German are “qwertzuiopü+”. So 4 keys, “qwer”, have been eaten away. In testing some real words that I'm used to typing quickly, I get “wing” when typing “following” (5 letters have been eaten) and nothing when typing “usually” (the whole word of 7 letters has been eaten). This issue results in reduced productivity, especially when working in a terminal (xterm, gnome-terminal, …) with file names in a non-Latin encoding, as you have to switch between a Latin layout (for shell commands and their non-filename options) and the alternative non-Latin layout (for file names), sometimes many times a minute.

Please fix this.

I don't care about whether a switching OSD screen pops up, but I do care about seeing the current-layout indicator (for me, in the status area on the right in the top bar).
