*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 444569 *** (In reply to Andrey from comment #1) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 444569 *** But that bug was marked as fixed for an _earlier_ version (5.23.3). It means that the bug reappeared, doesn't it? It isn't resolved for 5.24.4.

The bug presented in 5.23.3 and the "Version Fixed In" is 5.26 (In reply to Andrey from comment #3) > The bug presented in 5.23.3 and the "Version Fixed In" is 5.26 But plasma 5.24 is LTS, so it won't be updated to 5.26 in most of distributions. What means its "long term support", if not correcting bugs? You are right, I'll try to backport it: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1148#note_625226 (In reply to Andrey from comment #5) > You are right, I'll try to backport it: > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/ > 1148#note_625226 Thank you very much! (In reply to Andrey from comment #5) > You are right, I'll try to backport it: > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/ > 1148#note_625226 I downloaded plasma 5.27.3 from a third-party repository and found that the issue has not really been solved. Indeed, if I set keyboard layouts globally, everything is all right. But if I set keyboard layouts per window (as I usually do), a new issue appears. Suppose, I have two windows Window1 and Window2. In Window1 I set Language2 (Russian in my case), while in Window2 I set Language3 (Hebrew). Then I change the focus from Window2 to Window1 and try to change languages with hot keys in Window1. The result is that the hotkeys for Language2 and Language3 change their places: Language2 hot key sets Language3 and vice versa. Please file a separate detailed report about this specific case(In reply to Michael Lashkevich from comment #7) > > I downloaded plasma 5.27.3 from a third-party repository and found that the > issue has not really been solved.

Created attachment 156476 [details] My settings (in Russian, unfortunately). I have four layouts (English (default), Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish) with a layout loop of maximum 2 layouts. I assigned the keyboard combinations (hotkeys) for each layout (Meta+1, Meta+2, Meta+3, Meta+4 correspondingly). When I switch to Hebrew (Meta+3) or Yiddish (Meta+4) I cannot return to Russian with Meta+2. Instead, Meta+3 works as turning to Russian and Meta+4 works as turning to Hebrew from Yiddish. Meta+2 doesn't work at all. It seams that the keys are associated to the order of languages in a cycle rather that with the languages themselves. I tried to change hotkeys, but it helps nothing. In previous versions (in OpenSUSE up to 15.3) everything worked properly. My ~/.config/kxkbrc looks like: [$Version] update_info=kxkb.upd:remove-empty-lists,kxkb.upd:add-back-resetoptions,kxkb_variants.upd:split-variants [Layout] DisplayNames=,,, LayoutList=us,ru,il,yi LayoutLoopCount=2 Model=asus_laptop Options=grp:rctrl_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch_multikey ResetOldOptions=true ShowFlag=true ShowLabel=false ShowLayoutIndicator=true ShowSingle=false SwitchMode=Window Use=true VariantList=intl-unicode,ru_local,lyx,israeli STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set several (n) languages in the keyboard layouts configuration. 2. Set layout loop to m<n 3. Assign a hotkey to every language. 4. Try to switch to any language number k>m with the corresponding hotkey. 5. Try to switch to any language number l<=m with the corresponding hotkey. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens or the language is switched randomly. EXPECTED RESULT The language is switched to the language l. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE 15.4 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I use slightly modified xkb rules and symbol settings to adjust my habits with the Russian keyboard and to use the Yiddish keyboard. It has never caused any problems.
