Keyboard not falling back to default layout when it can't find active one

[lolek]

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.16
HARDWARE: Xperia 10
UI LANGUAGE: PL
REGRESSION: NO

DESCRIPTION:

The bug is quite simple. If somehow our

dconf dump /sailfish/text_input/

shows that we have set some active layout that’s not available
the system should fallback to some default.
This bug is related to the following bugs:

[4.2.0.21][Xperia XA2] No keyboard shown for any of the applications on device

Thank you for the hint to the Sailfish Utilities. I removed them some versions ago. I can confirm that restarting the screen is enough to reenable the keyboard. I had this bug now the first time after a couple of days. And I still have no idea which app might trigger this.

When combo box doesn't have a value it's hard to see if interaction is possible

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% OS VERSION: probably any HARDWARE: any UI LANGUAGE: any REGRESSION: no DESCRIPTION: there’s no clear indication on UI where interaction is possible from combo boxes when they are missing default value. The following keyboard case is just an example but the problem is system wide. PRECONDITIONS: nothing special STEPS TO REPRODUCE: in console do: dconf write /sailfish/text_input/enabled_layouts '["en-missing.qml"]' go to: Settings → Text Input → Keyboard E…

PRECONDITIONS:

Pressage keyboard installed and select, then pressage just uninstalled without changing active layout or
just modifying dconf like:

dconf write /sailfish/text_input/enabled_layouts '["en-missing.qml"]'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. in console do:

dconf write /sailfish/text_input/enabled_layouts '["en-missing.qml"]'
systemctl --user restart maliit-server

3. open anything that need user input, like message and try to show keyboard.

EXPECTED RESULT:

Default fallback keyboard is shown

ACTUAL RESULT:

Only keyboard placeholder is shown exactly like in the linked bug

MODIFICATIONS:

none

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

can occur when someone install pressage keyboard, active the layout, then remove it but active layout will stay.
