Issue
During Mint installtion I let keyboard layout to English US.
After successful installation of Mint 19, I add the Romanian keyboard layout. I put the Romanian layout in the top of the layout list but after every restart of Mint 19, the default layout is English US... Romanian is still there but is not the default.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the layout selection behavior in Cinnamon 3.8.8 on Linux Mint 19: add Romanian above English US, restart, and check which layout becomes active. The issue has no file, test, or entry point named; done means the selected Romanian layout remains the default after restarting.
