Screenshot: impossible to click OK after selecting English (UK)

SUMMARY

In the add layout dialogue: it seems that filtering (to shorten the list in the column to the left) causes everything to disappear from the column to the right. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. System Settings
2. keyboard
3. layouts: enable
4. add
5. type two letters, uk
6. click English (UK)

OBSERVED RESULT

7. in the column to the right, nothing

EXPECTED RESULT

7. in the column to the right, a list of layouts for English (UK), probably with English (UK) uppermost.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Plasma 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks 6.17.0
Qt 6.9.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Reproducible in live mode whilst booted from the installer for Kubuntu 25.10 on a USB memory stick.

Reproducible with filters other than uk; IIRC I found the same issue after seeking:

Comment 1 Graham Perrin 2025-10-12 19:47:59 UTC 
Workaround: 

8. clear the search field

9. in the relatively long list in the column to the left, scroll to find and then select the required layout

10. select the required layout in the column to the right

11. click OK.
