Bug Description
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 I have been having trouble with both Wayland and Xorg. Xorg seems the most stable of the two, so I am attempting to use it, however, I am having some issues that are causing problems.
I have added an alternate (Spanish) keyboard. This shows up in both the tray and under the keyboard settings, however, when I select the alternate keyboard it just reverts back to English and does not allow entry via the alternate keyboard. This part does work properly in Wayland allowing me to select either the English or the Spanish keyboard for the current window as I have selected in the settings
This issues is currently making Xorg unusable as I need to routinely switch to the Spanish character set for documents and web entry. In both cases Xorg is not responding to or acknowledging the keyboard selections and only staying with the primary (English) keyboard. This is not a problem with Ubuntu 20.04 prior to upgrading.
