- in Settings->Text entry remove all input sources, leave only english
- install gxkb (layout switcher): sudo apt-get install gxkb
- add gxkb to startup applications via gnome-tweak-tool
- setup gxkb hotkeys in ~/.config/gxkb (default is alt_shift, but in 14.10 it doesn't work. ctrl_shift works ok)
p.s. new version of gxkb has appindicator for ubuntu. can be installed via ppa:zen-root/gxkb-stable
this workaround worked for ubuntu 14.10:
