Description Silver Salonen 2012-12-27 12:12:52 UTC 
I've configured multiple keyboard layouts. Switching is set to per-application. When I lock the desktop, that uses the layout that was active for the currently active application. I'd expect the screen locker to use the default layout though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add multiple keyboard layouts and set them to be used per application
2. Start an application and switch to non-default keyboard layout
3. Lock the screen
Actual Results:  
Keyboard layout that was active for currently active application is used.

Expected Results:  
The default keyboard layout is used.

I can confirm this bug on KDE 4.9.5 (x64, Gentoo Linux).
Comment 2 Silver Salonen 2013-03-17 06:42:16 UTC 
Keyboard layouts in lock screen are not very consistent in KDE 4.10 either. In there they sometimes switch between the different layouts by itself.
Comment 3 Silver Salonen 2013-03-28 06:39:54 UTC 
Happens also in 4.10.1.
Just now it happened that although Estonian layout was active, US flag was shown instead.
Comment 4 Kirill Elagin 2014-04-21 15:22:03 UTC 
I confirm this with 4.11.5.
Very annoying!
