Bug ID: 456391
Summary: broken/nonexistent keyboard layout
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
CC: mate...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
KDE system-tray used to have keyboard layout but currently has almost all past
functionality removed (no customization) including icon never even displays in
system-tray under any circumstances/settings!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Edit 'system tray: keyboard layout:' add layouts including
alternative/international option such as 'with dead keys' for a
country/language/locale (UK, USA, maybe Germany, etc.) Try to customize text &
flag labels to distinguish alternative/international layout (maybe usi, uki,
whatever de/Deutsch/Austrian variant label: ) can't.
2. Set keyboard layout 'always show' (or 'show when relevant' or 'always
hidden' but for either of latter two cases, subsequently make/test your own
steps.)
3. See nothing work nor even keyboard layout icon display in system-tray!
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE system-tray used to have keyboard layout but currently has almost all past
functionality removed (no customization) including icon never even displays in
system-tray under any circumstances/settings!
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE system-tray keyboard layout should have improvements including all past
functionality: firstly, display in system-tray! Secondly, allow customizing
text labels such as for multiple dialect layouts, and preferably over flag (but
because some are for international character set usage, allowing alternative
flags would be good, for example I use USA default and international layouts,
latter only for British English character set so want Union Jack (UK) but
someone else might want one of many English dialect/country/locale options) as
(bug 444864) previously worked. Don't require more than one spare layout
(sure, family members who studied/majored in several languages use many, but I
don't so want all my one to three extra layouts all set 'spare,' because so far
may set but not use a fourth, and only rarely use a third, and want to avoid
accidentally selecting the second (unless can have Union Jack) so currently
want to forcing drop-down-select even second and all ojher spares.)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon User 5.25.2 (earlier,) Slackware64 15.1-current
(up-to-date.)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15 (earlier) to 5.15.5 (as of which mostly fixed for KDE Neon
User)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
System-tray icon displays again in KDE Neon User 5.25.2 as of newer minor
version (apparently unspecified, non-findable?) that upgraded to Qt 5.15.5 (so
presumably icon will display after Slackware-current update (still on KDEP
5.25.2, Qt 5.15.3)) but our KDE Neon PCs have old custom label 'usi'--now
unchangeable--so currently if someone adds alternative/international layout
presumably can't customize to distinguish from main, but this detail (and
others) could be added to bug 444864.
