This is not a new "bug". XKB layout group switching has always behaved like this. In particular RHEL 5 and 6 also behave like this.

See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 .

And I said "bug" on purpose because if you "fix" it then you'll have another group of users, who are used to the current behavior, reporting that layout switch is delayed[1] and thus they can't quickly switch layouts while typing fast.

In other words, I don't intend to work on this.

[1] the delay being that the switch would only happen when Shift is released instead of pressed.
