Created attachment 136342 [details] New duplicate keyboard entry in system tray settings With 5.21, I see new keyboard entry in system tray settings, and it has no effect when enabled. See attached image for more info.
@Andrey wasn't it fixed in Bug 430661?
As workaround, we only prevented autoloading of the new applet for X11, so that the two are not duplicating in systray by default. The both applets are still presented and activatable in the systray settings, even simultaneously. To activate new applet, one just need to set "Always shown" there.
Another words, it's just entries of two different things: old SNI widget and new applet. So they are not duplicated, they just named the same. Should we rename the old one as "Keyboard Layout (legacy)" maybe? If the naming is issue, maybe we should reopen this then. So feel free and thanks for reporting.

The best solution is to detect which desktop is used X11 or Wayland and show the correct keyboard entry. And from what I know desktop selection (X11 or Wayland) is done in SDDM login page before any applet is loaded, so there should be no problem in loading the correct applet corresponding to the selected desktop.

They are both correct, and user is able to decide which one to display. Eventually, the old one will be deleted when we reach feature parity. Until then, I doubt something will cardinally change here.
The X11-specific one should simply never appear in the System Tray settings when on Wayland, and the Wayland-specific one should never appear in the System Tray settings on X11.
This should be fixed in Plasma 5.23
