keyboard layout config sometimes resets itself

[fenugrec]

This has been driving me crazy for a long time. Just got annoyed enough when it did it again today.

Context

I regularly use 2 keyboard layouts, and use Alt+Capslock to toggle between them.

Current Behavior

In unknown, but frequent circumstances, my Alt+Capslock shortcut stops working. Opening lxqt-config-input --show-page Keyboard Layout shows that the settings have reverted to the default : US layout only, no shortcut. I have to enter my settings again, apply & save, then continue working until it decides to forget my settings again.

Yet, even when it's reset and the shortcut is broken, my .config/lxqt/session.conf still has this section :

[Keyboard]
layout="us,ca"
model=pc105
options=grp:alt_caps_toggle
variant=","

just as it should. I don't know why suddenly the shortcut stops working. I'm not even sure how I could set a 'breakpoint' on this...

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

I'm sorry, there's no clear steps to reproduce this. It just happens very often, at unknown times.

1. Select a second keyboard layout
2. enable alt+capslock to toggle between layouts
3. work normally, switching layouts often
4. eventually it will stop working

It also happens to me, although in my case it happens when a new package is installed using Pacman or something get upgraded, it's not just the keyboard, but display resolution and touchpad settings.
