I have same version as you've mentioned. I have this problem on my laptop, where I have i3wm installed, so will try to reproduce it in some simpler env. What I've assumed that in case of pressing cancel there should be no log lines like: 2019-02-18 17:08:41 <1> ri-laptop(31225) [Ruby] modules/Keyboard.rb:1401 Setting X11 keyboard to: <english-us> 2019-02-18 17:08:41 <1> ri-laptop(31225) [Ruby] modules/Keyboard.rb:1402 Setting X11 keyboard: /usr/bin/setxkbmap -layout us -model microsoftpro -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp And as from the code: https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/master/keyboard/src/modules/Keyboard.rb#L1400 it actually executes those commands, which should not be the case. But let me update issue with steps for clean installation.
