Description Silver Salonen 2023-11-11 09:59:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
Layout switching OSD displayed when starting typing in an application with different layout.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Wayland session
2. Configure multiple (I have 2) keyboard layouts
3. Use Application Switching Policy
4. Open applications and use different keyboard layouts for them
5. Type something in an application with one keyboard layout
6. Switch to an application with another keyboard layout and type something there

OBSERVED RESULT
When starting typing in an application that has different keyboard layout than the application where typing was done before, keyboard layout OSD is displayed at the center of the screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
No OSD is displayed - maybe only when switching keyboard layout manually? I don't know what is the expected behaviour.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

This is a feature, not a bug (Wayland only as we couldn't implement the same behavior for X11).
If you dislike the OSD you can disable it in the Keyboard KCM.
