### Issue

I am working most of the time with text so it's quite important for me to quick switch the languages with a keyboard shortcut. After a fresh install of Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon ed. however a problem occurred which persist and I cannot find solution to: the keyboard shortcut which I normally set Alt+Shift stopped working two months after the install. When I tried to reassign the shortcut I found I cannot enter the Keyboard Layout Settings (Keyboard/Layouts/Settings). Every time I try to open it it crashes. Now the only way to switch between languages is by mouse clicking. I couldn't find someone experiencing a similar problem in the Forum so I decided to ask devs for help.

### Steps to reproduce

@vladrob could you provide the steps to reproduce the issue? Thanks.

vladrob commented 1 year ago

@icarter09 I don't know how to "provide the steps". I am not a tech person. At a certain time the keyboard shortcut stopped working and when I tried to change the settings in Keyboard/Layout tab I found the Settings crash every time I try to open it. If you can tell me where can I look I will copy and share the data.

icarter09 commented 1 year ago

Sorry I should have explained that better. When I asked for the "steps", I was looking for a something like...

  1. Open Menu
  2. Click "Keyboard"
  3. another step
  4. and another

Just to make sure I was following exactly what you were doing so I could reproduce the issue and begin to debug. Thanks.

vladrob commented 1 year ago

Ok, now I understand. So, that's what I do:

  1. Click the Flag icon on the panel.
  2. Click on Keyboard Settings
  3. Click on Layouts tab
  4. Click on Settings (down right corner)
  5. Crash follows and the window closes

That pattern repeats no matter how many times I try. The same is when I get there via Menu/System Settings/Keyboard/Layout tab/Settings. The crash follows and I start from the beginning. Thank you @icarter09 for your help!

icarter09 commented 1 year ago

@vladrob could you try starting the "Keyboard" from the terminal...

cinnamon-settings keyboard

...and providing the output when the crash occurs? Thanks.

This is the outcome from the terminal:

This bug seems similar to https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8419 and https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/7831.

Are you using a language like Russian or Bulgarian?

vladrob commented 8 months ago

Yes, I'm using Bulgarian language.
