Chromium based programs use english keyboard layout after reboot

English Applications

Hi,
I am wondering why all my Leap 15.6 installations have the above mentioned issue.

localectl
System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: de-nodeadkeys
   X11 Layout: de
    X11 Model: microsoftpro
  X11 Variant: nodeadkeys
  X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
KEYMAP=de-nodeadkeys
FONT=eurlatgr.psfu
FONT_MAP=
FONT_UNIMAP=
XKBLAYOUT=de
XKBMODEL=microsoftpro
XKBOPTIONS=terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
XKBVARIANT=nodeadkeys

After i switched the layout via yast2 to “german” or “german with dead keys”, all chromium based programs use the keyboardlayout.
UNTIL the next reboot. Pretty annoying.

I would highly appreciate to get some hints…

edit: the above mentioned happens on new instalations and upgrades from 15.4

I cannot reproduce it. You may start with telling your desktop environment and whether you are using X11 or Wayland.

Is there a relation with this one?

4

I am using Gnome with wayland. During installation I chose German Keyboard Layout.

It seems to be the same issue. At least I found a temp solution:

setxkbmap -layout en

Thank you

6

Did you try to run Chromium with native Wayland backend?

Actually I tried that, but unfortunately it has no effect.
