After update, keyboard layout settings now get reset at every restart

Remove fcitx5:

sudo pacman -R fcitx5

or

pamac remove fcitx5

Then reboot.

fcitx5 was likely installed as a build dependency of sdl2, which was moved to the AUR and replaced by sdl2-compat. Users who update using Pamac and have the AUR enabled seem to be the only ones who have experienced this issue. It looks like a bug in Pamac drew in the dependencies required to build the AUR version of sdl2, even though sdl2 was going to be uninstalled.
