As of right now the Unstable version appears to be 5.23.8 and the fix is for 5.24, is that unstable branch set to be available for download soon?

Edit: Installing and updating the Development release worked! The additional keyboard layouts now appear to be uncapped and working properly! Thank you! You are welcome, thanks for testing! |
Created attachment 144194 [details] Screenshot of current keyboard layouts on user system SUMMARY The maximum number of spare keyboard layouts is currently 4, meaning a grand total of 8 available layouts. I know it's a lot of layouts already and I really appreciate it, that being said though I'm a linguist by trade and I spend a lot of my time switching between quite a few different languages and keyboard layouts such that even 8 is often not sufficient for my use case (especially when I have to switch sometimes between different individual variants within a language). I would love it if a few more slots could be added, or even better if slots were not capped at all (although I'm not sure exactly how difficult that would be to implement). OBSERVED RESULT Keyboard layouts are capped at a total of 8. EXPECTED RESULT Keyboard layouts would (ideally) be uncapped. Alternately, the cap should be raised another few notches.
