Description nine 2013-10-03 07:28:59 UTC

I use two keyboard layouts English and German and set the keyboard layout switching policy to Application in the Keyboard KDE control module. I want konsole to use the English layout and all other applications use the German layout so German is on top of the layouts list.

This setup works most of the time but after every reboot konsole is back to German layout and sometimes it switches back even during sessions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure at least two keyboard layouts in the Keyboard KDE control module
2. set Switching Policy to Application
3. start konsole and set the keyboard layout to the secondary layout
4. logout
5. login again
6. start console
Actual Results:  
konsole is using the primary layout

Expected Results:  
konsole should be using the secondary layout selected in step 3

I can still reproduce this on plasma5-desktop 5.3.1 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Do you have any pointers for me where I could start looking myself?
Is systemsettings the right product for this bug report?

kded_keyboard: Fix restoring application/window specific layout settings

This removes the check if user has restore session on start option
enabled, so the layout map is restored everytime.

It also checks in LayoutMemory::laoutChanged if the changed keyboard
layout is different from user configured to prevent clearing the layout
map on startup.
