Note that it works in X11 session.

Please make sure you have following option enabled:
system settings -> startup and shutdown -> desktop session -> "restore previous session"

I do have this option activated, but it does not work.

Actually it does *not* work in 6.0.3 either. I just tried with a fresh new user.

What's your layout switching policy?
Please note it doesn't work for App (or Window?) Switching policy.

Either way it's a duplicate, if it regressed let's continue in the original report.
I don't think we need a new one.

As written in the description, it’s the Global policy.

Your call.
