Description David Chmelik 2022-08-09 01:10:07 UTC
SUMMARY
Keyboard layout indicator limitations/regression exists; can no longer have custom text label on flag and when editing label (unclear how) won't change in editor: only on panel/systemtray/indicator, beforehand making you think can't change.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add keyboard layouts (such as for more dialects/languages).
2. Edit indicator text and/or flag.

OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard layout indicator limitations/regression exists; can no longer have custom text label on flag and when editing label (unclear how) won't change in editor: only on panel/systemtray/indicator, beforehand making you think can't change.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to set custom label /and/ custom flag (such as choosing international English keyboard layout for  characters across Atlantic, allow overriding flag for clarity) and update within editor (in clear way) and not just on panel/ssytemtray/indicator.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
UNIX/GNU/Linux/KDE Plasma: FreeBSD 13+, Slackware 15+, NetBSD 9+, Neon 5+
KDE Plasma Version: 5.2n.m
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.9n.m
Qt Version: 5.1n.m

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use UK English with some USA settings including USA custom locale & spare keyboard setting: international with dead keys for British punctuation/quotation & moetary pound symbols, despite being USA layout I don't consider it one and would like to override USA with UK flag to usage clear.

Though the main limitation used to be standard so this is a regression (and resulting confusing effects could be considered major/grave/critical) it's possible this is more a minor/wishlist level issue...

Please file individual bug reports for distinct issues. When a bug report describe multiple issues, it isn't actionable. https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket
