How to switch between keyboard layouts in Xubuntu without it changing itself back

I have installed Xubuntu 20.04 on a machine.

Under "Keyboard" settings I have unchecked "use system defaults" and added an extra keyboard layout.

I want to be able to switch between the 2 layouts easily using an applet on the panel, so I have added the "Keyboard layouts" applet.

When I click this, it changes the keyboard layout. However it doesn't stick - as soon as I move to another window, it changes back. If I open a terminal, I have to change it every single time.

I would just like the layout to stick to what I set it to, until I change it back myself by clicking on the applet again.

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks.

The setting you need is in the Keyboard layouts applet properties.

Right-click on the language flag and click on Properties. Change the Manage layout option to Globally.
