Keyboard layout doesn't switch

Hi, couple of days ago I clean installed EOS using offline installer but for some reason, when i add keyboard layouts it doesnt work, shows in setting but i cant change it (i tried xfce applet, and keyboard bind i defined)

the only way i can make it work is using these commands

setxkbmap -layout us,ir
setxkbmap -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'

@rootiens
Are you trying to set it to US? Turn on system defaults toggle at the top right work?

If you toggle the switch on top right (Use system defaults), and back again it should then work as expected.

i said that worked because when i add other layouts with command, and i switch to default system, only US works

i had to logout once, its working now

I have also encountered this bug, and toggling the “Use system defaults” on and then back off worked with no need to logout/login.

But I think this should be fixed so that it’s unnecessary to do this additional arcane step… It works as expected in Manjaro…
