Such number of minimum to (possible/past) maximum layouts are the issue (as in
original bug description/title) and minimum two main ones has only ever been
hindrance for me and everyone I know. When labels could be flags only without
text it was exacerbated due to dialects: no way knowing one is using their
country's English or international layout only for dialect/characters elsewhere
(unfortunately requiring same flag). For that case for average users who
forget, they accidentally press it and don't notice anything until things start
going wrong. They use Wayland, but I don't; proper technical writing is full
term then define acronym afterwards, but anything 'on layout change' is zero
help if a user comes to a PC after change was made.
I've always only known main layouts as those not allowing drop-down and spare
layouts as those requiring; this issue never has primarily been about drop-down
which is only an effect of specific numbers of layouts. Rewriting the issue to
a derived aspect is over-simplification but in fact complication. I never
asked to require drop-down for main layouts, just that being forced to have two
minimum (and any maximum other than all) is a bad number (as described and not
everyone is bilingual nor necessarily even uses more than one dialect) (so I
won't be writing a duplicate report what I already very clearly put as first
part of original description/title).
