After installing F43 in any of the CJK locales, it is observed that the Input source menu(IME) is not available for the user Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install system in any of the CJK locales 2.After installation check the availability of Input source menu on top right corner Actual Results: IME not seen after installation Expected Results: IME is seen after installation
Created attachment 2108949 [details] Please refer the screenshot were after the installation in Simplified Chinese locale the Input source menu is not available for user
I reproduced this too: despite selecting (accepting) the default IME selection in gnome-initial-setup and the Indicator appearing in the panel at that time after gnome-initial-setup the Input Source indicator is gone, woof - and CJK users need to setup their IME again by hand in gnome Setup.

I tested F42 (with F42-WORK-x86_64-LIVE-20251001) and it works correctly there.
While testing this I noticed another little issue with Japanese - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/238 .
I opened https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/239 for this issue.
I also saw the same when installing Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-41-20240820.n.0.iso in Japanese. Even though ibus-anthy was preselected in gnome-initial-settings after the installation and the first reboot, ibus-anthy was not in the gnome-panel, I had to add it again manually using gnome-control-center.
I installed today Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-43-20251008.n.0.iso and tried to install in Marathi language. Though gnome-initial-setup showed Marathi (inscript2) as default keymap being set but I could not see any keymap once session started after gnome-initial-setup complete. Only "en" keymap available.
AGREED AcceptedFinalBlocker Discussed at the 2025-10-13 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting: This violates the first boot experience criterion, when the user configures an input method in it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_43_Final_Release_Criteria#First_boot_experience https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org//blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2025-10-13/f43-blocker-review.2025-10-13-16.00.txt
