Could you post the content of org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.sources? Is the XKB keyboard selected in the switchboard plug? I think the expectation was that the XKB English (US) layout would be used and not also add the IBus English (US) input method as well. Is there an advantage to using the IBus English (US) input method with a English (US) XKB layout? In anycase you are right that XKB layout should be shown as selected.

After some testing I have found two (so far) situations triggering this issue:

• Open System Settings/Keyboard while IBus is not running
• Start IBus with Switchboard plug
• Add an input method (so that it is selected)
• Close Switchboard and click on wingpanel indicator - the XKB layout is not selected

• With one XKB layout installed, add an IBus input method with the same (or equivalent) name,
• Adding IBus daemon as a startup app so that it launches on logging in
• Select the IBus input method equivalent to the XKB layout
• Log out and back in
• Click on wingpanel indicator - the XKB layout is not selected

The issue also occurs if there are two XKB layouts as well as IBus. Neither of the XKB layouts is selected under the above conditions.
