Description Paul Ebermann 2009-10-30 11:25:55 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In KDE 4, you can only have 4 keyboard layouts to switch between. Trying to add another does nothing, gives even not an error message. (For people not using keyboard layouts: control center -> regional/language settings -> keyboard layouts)

This should be changed - remove this arbitrary limit.

If this is not possible, at least give an useful error message when trying to add more than 4, and/or grey out the ">" button when there are already 4. (And add something about this limit in the help.)

In KDE 3, you could have any number of keyboard layouts to choose from.

I found some forum discussion about this: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=82531

It seems this is related/the same as bug 174753. Check it.
Thanks

Jes, seems to be the same. Sorry, seems I wasn't able to find the right product.

I'm still not sure that this can't be solved - in KDE 3 I have the possibility to use more then 4. The forum thread I linked gives some info.

And at least, if you won't solve it, add a useful error message.
(I'll add this comment also to the other bug.)
