after recent update my system stopped switching keyboard layouts in KDE (I didn't try any other environment though). after rolling back to x11-libs/libXi-1.0.1 everything came back to normal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up secondary layout in KDE Keyboard Tool 2. open up and application and try to type using primary layout 3. switch to secondary layout and type some more Actual Results: actual layout switch never happens. text is all typed using primary layout (at least in my case) Expected Results: first portion of text should be typed using primary layout and second portion - using secondary. Since I don't know what might be related I'm not going to pollute post with too much info but I can post anything required from me (emerge --info, xorg.conf etc.)
Does rebuilding xorg-server after updateing libXi help?
yes it did help. thank you. bigger question now is - should users be warned by libXi about change or should release of xorg-server be bumped to force recompile?
Warning exists already. There's no way to force the server automatically to be rebuild with current Portage. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 153965 ***
