--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
It is indeed expected that typing on systems that support system input language
(currently Windows and Qt5) does set the language to the typed text. This is
not a bug. And - answering the "This is about "Ignore system input language".
It's unchecked by default. I would prefer it visa versa" - there are very few
problems with the setting enabled - because it *only* may hurt when:

1. User types in several languages, AND
2. These languages may be typed using the same keyboard layout, so the user
didn't bother to set up their keyboard (and input language as side effect)
properly.

That is only true for users typing only in languages using Roman scripting
system. Any user typing in Cyrillic script, or in Asian languages, or in
Arabic, Hindi, etc., will most definitely have everything set up - e.g.,
setting up Windows, they would already have their national keyboard + English
keyboard set up, and will have muscle memory changing the two keyboards when
switching from one language to another (e.g., for me that is Ctrl+Alt). Any
user who doesn't type in several languages will also be unaffected. So changing
the default is not OK.
