    Description

      (please correct me if I chose the wrong component)
      So simply put - build a Qt5 app (with some line input or whatever) , start it , change the layout - system-wide it changes , but the app continues using the layout it was started with . (all that in GNOME . In XFCE for example it doesn't happen) . My system is Manjaro , but I've had the same problem in Ubuntu . That may sound like a gnome problem , but I'm not knowledgeable enough to argue that .
      The communication so far - I've made some tests according to the instructions from one of the Qt developers , and one of the GNOME developers stated an opinion that the problem is Qt related . Here's all the posts :
