Ubuntu – When using mozc to input Japanese, it’s using the last selected keyboard layout to input romaji – can I fix which one it uses

ibusjapanesekeyboard-layoutlanguage

I'm setting up Ubuntu to be able to input in three keyboard layouts:

  1. English (US)
  2. German
  3. Japanese (Mozc)(IBus)

What I'm finding is if I switch from English to Japanese directly, then romaji is input with a QWERTY keyboard, but if I switch to German first, and then to Japanese, the romaji is input with German's QWERTZ keyboard.

In other words, mozc is just using whichever keyboard layout I had selected just before switching to it for entering romaji.

I'd like if I could fix it to one (preferably English US) regardless of which keyboard I was using last. If that means an alternative to mozc, I'm open to that too. In the meantime I can work around it as long as I remember to switch directly from English to Japanese.
