Bug Description

If you have more then 2 layouts then often after restart Ubuntu don't switch layouts.

I started to see this problem maybe after Ubuntu 20.10(?)

The problem have roots in the installation process. 3 weeks back I reinstalled Ubuntu Budgie. I choose German layout what was qwertZ. qwertZ is crazy uncomfortable if you migrate from English qwertY layout. So I replaced it with Germany qwertY. Now I have (1)English, (2)Russian, (3)German qwertY . But every second time I restart the laptop I get German qwertZ!

Here is stackoverflow questions from other users

A workaround that I found is to open the Region & Language settings and change the order of the Input Sources. This workaround is temporary, so next time it happens I need to do that again (in my case is changing the order of 2 layouts in EN->RU placeholder simply by drag and drop and when it happens again, switch back RU->EN, so I guess the order itself doesn't matter).
