Keyboard layout causes Anki to crash

[JurajMlich]

Anki is unable to run if I have multiple layouts configured on my Arch Linux system. I'm using Anki 25.09.2. I'm happy to provide a fix if you point me in the right direction.

Python module pip_system_certs is not installed. System certificate store and custom SSL certificates may not work. See: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/3016

I'm affected too by this bug, I can provide more details if needed.

Sure, more info is needed. Especially 1) steps to reproduce, 2) the output of the core dump as shown by the message:

Also: if you'd post on the forums (https://forums.ankiweb.net/latest) you'd get way more people looking over it.
