Bug Description

After upgrading from Kubuntu 22.10 to Kubuntu 23.04, snap applications are only using "us" keyboard layout. Even if we choose a different keyboard layout, like "de" or "pl" - snap applications continue to use "us" keyboard layout.

Checked with the following snap applications - they are affected:

chromium 112.0.5615.49 2424 latest/stable canonical✓
firefox 112.0.2-1 2605 latest/stable mozilla✓
slack 4.31.155 69 latest/stable slack✓

Non-snap applications are not affected. The problem started to happen after upgrading to Kubuntu 23.04.

I found a workaround for this issue.

After booting, go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Layouts. Change the order of keyboard layouts -> Apply. Then change again to your original layout order.
Magically keyboard layouts will work now.
