Description folderkillered 2022-02-10 10:43:42 UTC

SUMMARY
***
Keyboard shortcuts stop working randomly. It was possible to quick fix this problem earlier by disabling and then enabling the "Manage keyboard layouts" checkbox in System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts, but now all the layouts disappear after doing this.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a shortcut to switch to a specific layout;
2. Switch layouts by general shortcuts;
3. Switch layouts by the shortcut from step one;
4. Repeat the process until you observe the result.

OBSERVED RESULT
Shortcuts (including all the others) stop working systemwide.

EXPECTED RESULT
Shortcuts work normally.

That looks like a problem per se, could you report it also?

We also got some regressions recently with the reconfiguration (bug 450319 bug 450322). Might be related.
I'm not aware of the details, though.

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to look into it yet. A lot has changed since it was reported; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.4 or later? Thanks a lot!
