Do you have an Input Method like fcitx5 or Ibus installed?

If so, you need to either use your Input Method to handle keyboards layouts, disable keyboard handling in your IME settings or uninstall it you don't need an Input Method.

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357194#c12 for more information.
