Bug ID: 1135750
           Summary: Keyboard layout does not change when input source
                    language changes
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 21
         Component: ibus
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Description of problem:
The keyboard layout changes for Japanese when input source changes from English
US to Japanese (plain). However, the layout won't change when input source
changes from English US to Japanese Kana Kanji. The layout remains for English.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.5.8-1.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(I assume GNOME Desktop)
1. Open the settings panel (gnome-control-center)
2. Select [Region & Language]
3. Add English US and Japanse Kana Kanji to the input source list
4. Press Supser+Space to switch the input source to English US
5. Press Supser+Space to switch the input source to Japanese Kana Kanji

Actual results:
The keyboard layout remains for English US.

Expected results:
The keyboard layout is for Japanese

Additional info:
This problem also occurs when:
- switching between English US and Japanse Mozc
- switching between German and Japanse Kana Kanji

This problem does NOT occur when:
- switching between English US and Japanse (plain) 
- switching between English US and German

And this problem occurs on Fedora 21, too

Input method does not change the keyboard layout.
If you need to switch the layout, you need to add 'JP' keyboard layout besides
kkc.
Or probably you can set the keyboard layout in kcc with the kkc setup dialog,
/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-kkc

Do you mean switching input sources does not change the keyboard layout? If so,
why switching from Japanese Kana Kanji to German using Supser+Space changes the
layout for German? And, why is the reverse not true? I don't think it is
intuitive and convenient if switching sources from A to B changes the layout
while B to A does not. Or, don't I get your points?

Actually, I use Japanese and German sources, which are not compatible with each
other. According to you, to switch from German to Japanese, you have to switch
German -> JP (Japanese plain) -> Japanse Kana Kanji. Don't you think that is
annoying? The reverse is just Japanese Kana Kanji -> Germany.

Because the German engine is XKB layout.
Once you switch the engine to German, you will use German layout between kkc
and 'de'.
That means it would be good the session layout to 'de'.

If you use the multiple XKB engines, I'd suggest to configure kkc to set the
preferred layout 'jp' likes ibus-setup-kkc.
