Please test both Wayland/X11
(In reply to Andrey from comment #1) > Please test both Wayland/X11 On wayland it works, however it starts to ignore my "spare layout" setting and instead starts to cycle trough them all (I have 3 layouts: ru, en, he; he being the "spare" one, which I set to activate by a specific shortcut and it should't be selected otherwise, but it starts to be included in the cycle when using wayland)
"spare layout" feature is not implemented for Wayland yet. Sorry. Could you test on fresh user? Also, it would be useful to know if it's a regression or not. Also, where exactly you set the layout shortcut?
(In reply to Andrey from comment #3) > Could you test on fresh user? Also, it would be useful to know if it's a > regression or not. I tested it on a guest user I had for a while that was basically untouched since creation - behavior is the same: works on wayland, doesnt on x11 will try on a newly created user a little later, if that is still necessary > Also, where exactly you set the layout shortcut? I have it set on: Meta("windows" key)+Space tried adding Shift+Alt as a second one - nothing has changed
I mean - do you set it as "Main shortcut" in KCM Keyboard?
Can you dump your ~/.config/kxkbrc file?
(In reply to Andrey from comment #5) > I mean - do you set it as "Main shortcut" in KCM Keyboard? Ah, sorry Yes, it is set in "main shortcuts"
Created attachment 144737 [details] /.config/kxkbrc
Can you try other shortcuts maybe?
(In reply to moshe_shelomov from comment #8) > Created attachment 144737 [details] > /.config/kxkbrc Try to delete manually these lines: DisplayNames=, LayoutLoopCount=2 VariantList=, Also, try to delete il layout. Retest with relogin.
> Try to delete manually these lines: > DisplayNames=, > LayoutLoopCount=2 > VariantList=, > Also, try to delete il layout. did both, no change whatsoever
(In reply to Andrey from comment #10) > Try to delete manually these lines: > DisplayNames=, > LayoutLoopCount=2 > VariantList=, the only change I witnessed after deleting those is that little widget of "keyboard layouts" disappears up until the above mentioned "do smth in the settings to make it work" after which it reappears normally
Try to reproduce with new user and on VM
(In reply to Andrey from comment #13) > Try to reproduce with new user and on VM Newly created user still has the bug I'm unable to run VM, unfortunately, so I can't check it there.
I've ran out of ideas, if nobody can confirm I'm afraid we still need to test on VM, sorry.
(In reply to Andrey from comment #15) > I've ran out of ideas, if nobody can confirm I'm afraid we still need to > test on VM, sorry. I may try asking some friends to try running vm. Which os is needed to be in vm? same as mine - vanilla arch, or any arch-based will do? or any distro at all would work as well?
At least Neon would be fine.
(In reply to Andrey from comment #17) > At least Neon would be fine. I was able to use VM on my machine KDE Neon that I ran in VM doesnt have this issue

(In reply to moshe_shelomov from comment #18) > (In reply to Andrey from comment #17) > > At least Neon would be fine. > > I was able to use VM on my machine > > KDE Neon that I ran in VM doesnt have this issue Also I should add that I reinstalled my whole system this week and before restoring my "home" folder from backup, I didnt have the issue, whilst after it - the issue returned. My guess is - it is caused by some kde configs conflicting with something or being damaged somehow
Make a backup of your configs, then you can drop them one by one and see which one helps.
I've managed to find a workaround using fcitx5 and disabling layout switch shortcuts in kde settings closing the bug
