Package: mate-control-center-common
Version: 1.16.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have three keyboard layouts configured, and "Switching to another
layout" use "Alt+Shift".
I've been using Alt+Shift to switch between languages and expected the
switch to goes with order of the Layouts in the "Keyboard Preferences"
window. But I got a different order which made me input wrong text a
number of times, till I noticed that things didn't behaved as I
expected.
If in the list I had 3 languages, from top to bottom, A, B, C.
I'm expecting that if I'm curretnly in A, and Alt+Shift will change the
state to B, but currently it changes to C.
Notes:
- In Jessie, the behaviour was as I expected, the unexpected one
  started after I dist-upgraded to Stretch, two days ago.
- Simple workaround was to change the order of layouts, A, C, B, this
  gives me the expected order of swiches: A->B->C->A :-)

Thanks a lot,
Nethanel
