            Bug ID: 502952
           Summary: You cannot tell what keyboard you are entering in
                    system settings
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

Screenshot that missed the dropdown no matter how many times I tried...but you
get the idea

I could not find the correct KDE version in the list:
KDE Frameworks: 6.12.0
Qt: Using 6.9.0 and built against 6.9.0
openSUSE Tumbleweed (Xcb)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.14.1-1-default


Just setting up laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad p14s gen5 Intel/NVidia, currently using
the Meteor Lake-P [Intel Arc Graphics] and i915 driver) and was going to see if
changing my keyboard would let me use the key that they put on for Microsoft
Copilot for something other than catching hangnails and gathering lint...

But it would seem that the developers are being forced to pay BY THE LETTER
DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN with the drop-down list.  Even when maximized on a 4K
display, or even if stretched across three displays, the drop-down stays
exactly the same.  I have a choice, it seems, of "Lenovo (pre..", "Lenovo
(pre..", "Lenovo (pre..", "Lenovo (pre..", "Lenovo (pre..",  or "Lenovo
(pre..". 

I wager that if someone would let the poor developers use more than 11
character-wide dropdown (or let you select the entry so you could paste it into
Kate and see what it said) that each of the above options would turn out to be
something different!

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot tell what the hell I am entring 

EXPECTED RESULT
Actually knowing what my choices might be
