Can confirm. Cannot change to Polish (Colemak) keyboard layout, it is set to Latvian Colemak after selection and throws an error in the preview window: 

Keycodes above 256 (e.g. <I256>) are not supported by X and are ignored
Error:            No Symbols named "colemak" in the include file "bqn"
                  Exiting
                  Abandoning symbols file "(null)"

Comment 3 Aleksander 2024-08-10 20:09:48 UTC

Quick workaround:
~/.config/kxkbrc
Change `LayoutList=en,XXX` to e.g. `LayoutList=en,pl` and then enter KDE keyboard settings and change the order to apply changes.
