Thanks for clarifying, Ian. My bad. I hadn't noticed that you had split
off important stuff from !910.
So as regards Ubuntu I have added the !994 commits as patches for now,
and also added your latest commit from !910.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix
This issue was fixed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-
center/-/merge_requests/994 which avoids changing `xkb-options` unless
the Alternate Characters dialog is opened. (That was originally part of
MR 910, but was split off so it could be merged without being blocked on
design
When switching to g-c-c 40, the MR
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/910
was included in Ubuntu as patches to avoid a worse regression. Your
example shows that there is room for improvement of that upstream
proposal. Apparently it hasn't been considered
