--- Comment #5 from Markus Krötzsch <accou...@korrekt.org> ---
I am on Plasma 5.5.5 (Kubuntu Xenial package) and I am still seeing an OSD when
switching keyboard layouts. I am switching layouts using a keyboard shortcut
while writing texts. The OSD then appears as a big square in the centre of my
screen, hiding the text document that I am currently working on, requiring me
to wait for 1-2 seconds until resuming my typing. The OSD has an additional
fade-out animation that makes it more prominent and harder to ignore.
I request this bug to be reopened, since the original problem persists and has
apparently not been fixed [1].
There has been some more discussion on this recently
(https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=131991). The only way to influence
the behaviour seems to be to disable OSD for all notifications, which I don't
want to do (OSD for screen brightness changes etc. is useful). Disabling all
Plasma OSDs by editing a global configuration file can surely not be the
solution that we want to suggest to users here.
Personally, I think that an OSD for keyboard layout changes is unnecessary in
general, so it should be disabled by default or possibly entirely.
Alternatively, one could add an option to the existing notification system
settings to configure it. It is quite surprising to a user that the most
prominent event notifications that Plasma issues are not configurable in this
(otherwise very lengthy and comprehensive) dialogue.
[1] The discussion here suggests that the OSD has been changed to be "less
annoying". I don't think the project should be satisfied with this outcome. KDE
should not be annoying at all.
