After upgrading gnome-shell to version 49~alpha.1-1.fc43 layout indicator stopped reacting to layout switches by Ctrl-Shift key combination. Last good version was 48.2-2.fc43 which worked without editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet. Reproducible: Always

Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components 2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please: * create an issue with GNOME * add a link to the GNOME issue here * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM Thank you!
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 43-beta by Fedora user mikhail using the blocker tracking app because: It's regression and pain for dual language users because: - Layout indicator does not show actual keyboard layout. - Switching to the alternative non us layout happens only with the second attempt.
Upstream bug link: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8524 FWIW, this seems to work just fine with a default F43 Workstation installation, when using the default Super+Space shortcut, or the interactive menu at the top.
There's -5 for Beta in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1866 , so it's rejected as a Beta blocker, but there's one vote for Final blocker, so instead of marking 'RejectedBlocker' for now I'm moving the nomination to Final. FE status is undecided.
Discussed at the 2025-08-25 Blocker review meeting: This is accepted as an FreezeException on the basis that, if upstream agrees it's a bug and wants to fix it, it would make sense to get the fix into Beta so it works as intended on live boots and first boots [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2025-08-25/f43-blocker-review.2025-08-25-16.00.log.html
Discussed at the 2025-09-01 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting: This is rejected as a blocker, as it concerns a non-standard switcher combo that is only usable with a fairly hidden gsetting. However, it is accepted as a Beta FE, as it is a rather annoying bug for someone who is accustomed to using this setting, and they could experience it on a live boot, during first install, or when upgrading an existing system during a freeze. https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org//blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2025-09-01/f43-blocker-review.2025-09-01-16.00.txt
