Bug Description

I spent all evening till I figured out that layout group is also layout :) (like this one: "Lithuania") These selectable layout groups are very misleading. I am talking about window "Choose a layout" that opens when user wants to add layout.

What do you find confusing about it? In your opinion, how could it be clearer? Thanks.

Layout group item should be just for expanding layout list (like file folder). Layouts in that group should be selectable. In general should be like file selection dialog box. If it is file selection dialog box user cannot select directory.

My friend also called me on the phone telling that there is no Lithuanian keyboard layout. I had to explain him that group of layouts is also layout :)

Thank you for your great job!
