Bug Description
The bug could be reproduced the following way:
1) Select EN keyboard layout - Lock the screen - Enter the valid password - Success
2) Select other keyboard layout (RU in my case) - Lock the screen - Enter the valid password (lock screen shows that EN layout is used) - Password is not accepted
Keyboard shortcuts for input source switch does not work properly when the screen is locked.
Also, I tried to switch input source with the button displayed in the lock screen - it shows as if the input source was changed, but it does not produce any effect, the password is still rejected. Also, have checked that the Caps lock is switched in the proper position.
