Its probably because of the issue described in:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30911
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23202

Switching between layouts should work in all cases, but adding a new layout 
might not be seen until the application is restarted.

Can you provide us with the output of setxkbmap -print before and after the
keyboard change? It would be useful to get the xev output for a keystroke that
changed too (before and after).

Finally, can you make the same test by switching keyboard layouts with
setxkbmap?
