The changes were recently merged to the repository which the *stable* Plasma Active 2 image provided by basyskom uses The merge announced in [1] has happened by now and contains the KWin version which requires the new switcher layout. I installed the stable image, updated and experienced the bug. So any user who installed the stable PA2 Meego image on a device and did zypper ref && zypper up would have the same problem. Maybe the process of merging devel code into the stable repositories is problematic, but that's the way it's currently done.

I just wanted to clarify why Lamarque did the fix in a bit of a hurry. This was "a series of unfortunate events", and I think we can and have learned from it.
