This is still a bug, since it's not the expected behavior. Anthy shouldn't use the previously selected layout.

The problem is that … when I cycle through the layouts in this order [EN → TH → JP], I would have expected to be able to type Japanese properly; however, although the indicator on the top right says JP, the output was still in TH. However, if I cycle in the reverse order [TH → EN → JP], the Japanese input works correctly. In more details, whenever I switch to JP from TH (by switching to "next" input if TH precedes JP in the settings, or by switching to "previous" input if TH succeeds JP in the settings), the output is in TH instead of JP (but the indicator is already in JP). On the other hand, switching to JP from EN works fine.
