Bug Description

This is all in the live environment, pre-installation, i will update with info post-installation.
The input switcher in the system tray locks up input when right-clicked on.
the menu will eventually appear, but it takes way to long, launching LibreOffice is quicker.
there are also ways to configure input, either the config via the system icon, which is separate from the one in the Hardware settings menu. also during the installation when setting keyboard-layout, the chosen layout is not reflected in either the system-tray setting, or the one from hardware-settings.

also found that setting the input in the system tray setting is not reflected in the one from hardwaresettings, but still takes affect.
and setting the keyboard layout in the one from hardwaresettings is not reflected in the one from systemtray, and does not take affect either.
