I use two keyboard layouts: Persian and English. Sometimes when I have Persian layout selected and logout (or suspend, or lock), then, This layout is kept when I come back. I have to change to English using alt-shift. But after hitting alt+shift, It will be distracted focus from password textbox. Then I can not go to password textbox using keyboard (Tab key) I have to click On it. I think it would be good to set focus into password textbox after changing keyboard layout. I think it would be permit tab key to function at login time (in order to be able to login at similar situation) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add new keyboard layout to KDE. 2. select switch layout shortcut key to something like (alt+shift). I think it will be the same by default. 3. Change your keyboard layout to another layout (Optional). 4. logout from KDE, Or suspend, Or just lock the screen 4. Now you have to switch keyboard layout (using alt+shift) back to English in order to put password in English. Actual Results: Focus will be distracted from password textbox. my KDE version is 4.14.6 but I could not find it form the version list.
