After this update, I cannot switch the keyboard layout in Xfce

Hi guys,

after this update, I cannot switch the keyboard layout in Xfce. The layouts are shown correctly in the xfce4-xkb-plugin settings, but I cannot switch between them, neither through a short-cut nor through clicking the flag in the Xfce panel (previously both methods worked). I read about the fcitx package here, but I’m not sure whether this is even used on my machine (the layouts in question are German and Russian). I tried installing fcitx and removing fcitx5, but this had no effect. In fcitx-configtool (which I also just installed) there are no layouts configured at all.

Any hints are appreciated!

Please let me know if you need any further information!

Are we to understand the fcitx5 package was added?

If you werent using fcitx5 before and its not a dependency of any other package then you can (should?) remove it.

Possibly related thread?
