LayoutsTableModel::refresh is called, then in QAbstractItemModel::endResetModel modelReset signal is emitted, QAbstractItemView::reset slot gets called, and it calls QItemSelectionModel::reset. QItemSelectionModel::reset disables signals and calls QItemSelectionModel::clear that calls QItemSelectionModel::clearSelection, but signals are disabled, so itemSelectionChanged is not emitted, and KCMKeyboardWidget::layoutSelectionChanged is not called.
> 2. KCMKeyboard::load calls KCMKeyboardWidget::updateUI that calls LayoutsTableModel::refresh. All following calls are in the same order as in case 1.
