Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

In edgy only the left alt-shift changes the language.
I use hebrew - english layout. In previous versions of ubuntu, the relevant xorg.conf lines would be:
       Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
       Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

This would work with both left and right alt-shift.

with edgy (I chose lyx) I got:
        Option "XkbVariant" ",lyx"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll"

which is what is probably causing the problem.

Happens with me as well - although the behavior in the "keyboard" application from the preferences menu is set to alt-shift (no right or left).

Both alt-shift combinations are working for me in Hardy Alpha1.
