Version: ibus-m17n-1.3.4-6.fc18 Most ibus-m17n engines currently switch to US keyboard layout when selected. This is not nice for most engines. For example, when using latn-post, latn-pre, da-post, .... there is no need to switch to the US keyboard layout. One can use these with any keyboard layout one likes. For example, maybe I use the German keyboard layout because I mainly type German but want to use latn-post, da-post, ... to input other European languages like Danish, I do not want to switch to the US Keyboard layout when selecting such an input method, they work just fine with the German keyboard layout already selected. Therefore, most ibus-m17n engines should not switch the keyboard layout at all when selected. This is similar to bug#910959.
