I downloaded the ISO and followed your > instructions in a VM but I still couldn't get the issue to happen. Do you > have another keyboard you can try? The plot thickens! There was a missing hidden step that confuses everything now!! Try this: 1. have 2 keyboards (laptop and external) 2. Have 2 layouts (settings / input devices / keyboard / configure layouts: English and Greek) 3. Open KWrite 4. Type with keyboard 1 (should be in English) 5. Type with keyboard 2 (should be in English) 6. Change language on the panel by clicking on it 7. Type with keyboard 2 (should be in Greek) 8. Type with keyboard 1 and the language reverts back to English! 9. Try different combinations of the above for weirdness I tried the above steps with a different keyboard to the one I had the problem with, on my laptop, with the live USB. The setting for switching layouts is Global. It seems that my PC keyboard triggers KDE to think it is a new keyboard every time I use it (backspace changes it and then any forward typing also changes it first time a key is pressed). This does not happen with any other keyboard (well, laptop and new external) Not sure what I did but the 'broken' keyboard works now on my PC (I uninstalled any keyboard related packages). Although the language does not change, it tries to change (the language icon flashes), so something is still happening. No idea what all these mean. Does KDE keep layout states for different keyboards? If so, mb my PC keyboard is weird and has a split personality.
