why is this dialog now read-only? I created two layouts, I could switch between them, I was able to add special chars by using right-alt, all this is now gone??????
totally disappointed in Kubuntu and Gnome.

Hello and welcome to askubuntu. I had the same problem when connecting my keyboard via a displaylink adapter (usb type c dock) and powering this adapter after boot. Unfortunately (for you) I cannot replicate the behavior any more, as after a reboot it works like a charm. Is your system up-to-date? How is the keyboard connected? If it is a laptop, what model? Did you recently changed anything permission related (added a user, changed goup memberships etc.? – Bruni Apr 01 '20 at 10:23

Can you change it if you try running from the command line? https://askubuntu.com/questions/342066/how-to-permanently-configure-keyboard – cup Apr 01 '20 at 11:37

I will try. but this is the kind of dirty and unstable changes that I try to avoid. and I'm losing courage to file a bug, this is unacceptable nowadays that this kind of problem keeps popping up. – axd Apr 02 '20 at 13:15

1well, it works again. I suspect that system updates temporarily disabled that dialog until a reboot was done, I vaguely remember I had to postpone such a reboot and then forgot about it. – axd Apr 02 '20 at 13:20
