Bug ID: 493704
Summary: Keyboard layout switching ignores the "Main layout
count" parameter
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
System Settings -> Keyboard -> Layouts
There is a checkbox at the bottom: Spare layouts, and a counter accompanying
it. It is used if 3 or more layouts are enabled and a user needs to "skip"
certain layouts via the usual hotkey rotation but still be able to switch to
them manually. For example, if 3 layouts are present but the counter equals 2,
normal hotkey rotation will switch only between the first 2 "primary" ones in
the list.
The latest update seems to have broken this option. The flag and the counter
are still set but the system ignores them and rotates the whole list when
switching.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable 3 or more layouts (for example, English, Spanish and French)
2. Enable the "Spare layouts" option in System Settings and set the Main layout
count to 2.
3. Try repeatedly switching layout via your usual key combination (mine is
Ctrl+Shift).
OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard layout cycles between all the enabled layouts.
EXPECTED RESULT
Keyboard layout should cycle only between the "main layouts" and skip the rest.
