            Bug ID: 2100970
           Summary: On Plasma Wayland, ibus cannot set the keyboard layout
                    for input methods which want to enforce a keyboard
                    layout
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 36
            Status: NEW
         Component: ibus

Video showing that the German keyboard stays active even after switching to
table:cangjie5

[mfabian@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six)
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ rpm -q ibus
ibus-1.5.26-10.fc36.x86_64
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ rpm -q plasma-desktop
plasma-desktop-5.24.5-1.fc36.x86_64
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ 

Some ibus input methods need to enforce a certain keyboard layout. For example
table:cangjie5 needs to enforce the 'us' layout: 

[mfabian@fedora ~]$ /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-table --xml | grep -A 6
'name>table:cangjie5'
        <name>table:cangjie5</name>
        <longname>CangJie5</longname>
        <language>zh</language>
        <license>Freely redistributable without restriction</license>
        <author>chinesecj.com (倉頡之友‧馬來西亞)</author>
        <icon>/usr/share/ibus-table/icons/cangjie5.svg</icon>
        <layout>us</layout>
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ 

On Plasma Wayland, ibus cannot do this. 

In the attached video, I switch to the  German keyboard layout using the KDE
keyboard switcher (the keyboards in the ibus menu are hidden except for "No
input method"),

Then I switch to table:cangjie5 using the ibus menu, the keyboard is not
switched to 'us': When typing the key labelled 'y' on the us layout,
followed
by Return, the character 'z' is committed. This shows that the German layout is
still used as the German layout has a 'z' at this key position.

--- Comment #1 from fujiwara <tfujiwar(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Currently you need to switch keymaps using systemsettings5 until bug #2076596
is fixed.
