Fellow Sailors, I've been working on a Indic keyboard that supports two character-sets (one being QWERTY latin) at one time. SFOS however keeps switching to the EN keyboard (even when it's disabled) for specific fields making the experience rather annoying. Is there someway to prevent this from happening ?

Can you describe a situation when SFOS switches to the English kbd? I have 4 keyboard layouts enabled and use Germanby default. I have never experienced such an automatic switch.

Happens occasionally with the URL field in sailfish-browser. Happens often with things like password fields (not sure if Qt is forcing it). It occurs everytime in the password entry-item in ownKeeppass - EN keyboard gets enabled and is brought up as default.

I tried doing similar tasks with English/Espanol*/Francais/Cyrillic and it didn't seem like an issue; but did seem like an issue with Mandarin (stroke), Hindi, Kannada keyboard. Seems like an odd bug.

So the switch to English only happens when your current kbd layout is not one of the more common ones based on latin or cyrillic scripts?

Looks like it.
