Anysoftkeyboard: Keyboard layout is reset on orientation change

[ntninja]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install ASK 1.8.84 and set it as default IME
2. Enable a second keyboard layout in the settings
3. Select any input text field to make ASK visible
4. Switch to the previously enabled, secondary keyboard layout
5. Rotate device by 90°
   

   Expected behaviour

The keyboard layout should be resized, nothing else

Actual behaviour

ASK switches back to the default, english keyboard layout (and resizes that)

This is identical to #592.

**Android OS version:
Android 6.0.1 / CyanogenMod 13.0
(unofficial release, actually NightOwl 13)

Device manufacturer and model:
Samsung Galaxy Note I (n7000)

List of installed add-ons (like languages, or themes):
Neo 2 keyboard layout

I'm unable to reproduce this at all.

Can you provide more information? Anything.

Thanks for responding!

I retried this on a _LG Optimus 2X (p990)_ using CyanogenMod 11.0 (Android 4.4.4) and it's still 100% reproducible. Current ASK version is _1.8.195_ (as obtained by F-Droid).
Also the layout switch doesn't happen immediately on rotation, but shortly afterwards, so there is a split-second where the old layout is still visible. (Invisible on more modern devices such as the _Galaxy Note I_.)

Just to be sure I retried with NEO2 uninstalled and ASK restarted and recorded the following logcat while it happened:

I also generated a trace involving this behaviour.

It there anything else that might help getting this debugged?

Same here with ASK 1.8.1333 # 2658 on Lineage OS 14.1. This problem also occurs randomly when I change apps. Instead of german I regularly have the english setting.

Is there anything I can do to help debug this problem?

Thanks

Still occurs on all of my devices, too. I found a workaround however: It turns out that if you long-press on any keyboard layout in the settings you can rearrange the given layout. So if you move the given layout to the top ASK will start glitching toward that layout instead of the default english one. Works for me…™

@alexander255 Thanks for the workaround, also works for me now!

I see this or something similar on OnePlus 3 with Android 8.0 (OP3_O2_BETA_39) and Nokia 1 with Android Go 8.1.0 on Nokia 1 (TA-1047). 1.9.2481 from Play Store Beta.

When I close apps or open them or just somehow hide and open the keyboard a lot, the layout is reset to Colemak. However on Android 1 I had to do it more to trigger this. The workaround works on OP3, I didn't test Nokia1 yet.
