SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux (rolling release, up-to-date to Set 17, 2020)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you disable extra typographic characters, layout switches. I remember this bug existed in Linux Mint, but I though it was Mint-specific.

That's because Win+Space is the default IBus shortcut for switching keyboard layouts; the two conflict. You can always change the shortcut in IBus's settings window by running `ibus-setup` in a terminal window or right-clicking on its system tray icon and choosing Preferences.
