I installed ChakraOS based on Arch with KDE twice and I cannot switch layout. Neither graphically, nor from cli. The strange thing is that I can switch to spanish with various other distributions like (?)ubuntu, arch linux, fedora, mint, debian, sabayon, so it certainly isn't a hardware related problem. I have also tried other languages

I also tried the below commands, but nothing worked:
xkb-switch -n
xkblayout-state set +1



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I add Spanish layout (with the Spanish flag) setting a proper shortcut key.
2. I cannot change layout to Spanish, not even when I click the Spanish flag in the system tray icon. The same happens if I even do not set a shortcut key.
3. I remove English, so the only layout is Spanish. Now, I can write in Spanish.
4. I add English (without switching layout, yet) and then I can continue writing in Spanish.
5. I switch to English and then the English layout "locks" and cannot switch back to Spanish.

Actual Results:  
I cannot change keyboard  layout.

Expected Results:  
Being able to change keyboard layout.
