Public bug reported:
I have a notebook, with an english keyboard layout, so "English (Us,
intl, with dead keys) was my only option in "Region & Language / Input
Sources".
Now I want to use an external keyboard, which has a spanish
distribution, so I tried adding "Spanish" (Let's call it "es1") to my
"Input Sources" list. This is not quite my distribution, so I added a
few more to try: "Spanish (with Sun Dead keys)" (es2), "Spanish (Latin
American, with Sun dead keys)" (es3) and "Spanish (Win keys)" (es4).
So after trying all this 4 options in spanish layouts, I decided that I
want to use the (es4) option, because it fits my keyboard exactly, and I
won't be needing any of the others spanish options. Just want to keep
one for english and one for spanish.
Now comes the strange behaviour: while "es4" is still my layout option
in use, I go to "Input Sources" configuration and delete the input
sources I won't be using (es1, es2 and es3). After deleting, I only have
two options, one for english and one for spanish. The available keyboard
layout for spanish is the same one I chose before, "Spanish (Win keys),
but after deleting the other ones, this layout doesn't fit my keyboard
any more. Some keys don't give me the same characters as they did when I
was trying all the options and had the others layouts installed, but not
in use.
I've also noticed that installing a keyboard layout behaves different
depending on whether there are other layouts installed or not. For
example, if I install and use "Spanish" layout, when there is only
"English" I don't get the same results if I install and use it when
there are other "Spanish input sources" already installed.
Cheers
