SUMMARY Since two days ago the "keyboard layout" selection broke down. I have been using English + Hebrew for years, with "alt+shift" switching. All of a sudden this stopped working. The keyboard selector stopped reactin and I got stuck on "English". After a bit of fooling around I discovered that IBUS is willing to work for me (switching between these two layouts), with its own unmutable switch "win+shift". This is definitely a bug. Note: I upgraded to KUBUNTU 22.04 several weeks ago, and this problem only appeared two days ago. Thus it must have come from some recent software update. Please restore / revive previous traditional keyboard layout selection, i.e. system settings -> input deciedes -> keyboard Thanks. AY STEPS TO REPRODUCE [see above] SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-50-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics machine: Dell XPS 13 - 9310
Question: will disabling IBUS by issuing the next command in a terminal: im-config -n none (possibly with sudo in front) solve my problem? This is suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1394938/keyboard-layout-ibus-or-system-settings
I don't know. Can you try it and see? I suspect that IBus is overriding the shortcut, as our code didn't change in the past two days, we you observed.

Cool. Then I think we can pretty conclusively say that this change came from IBus--either in the form of a regression, or an intentional change. I would recommend you ask the IBus people for details.
