Keyboard layout in terminal - starnge occurrence

Hi Everyone

I am using -
DISTRIB_ID="BunsenLabs"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="BunsenLabs GNU/Linux 8.5 (Hydrogen)"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="8.5"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="bunsen-hydrogen"
ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/BunsenLabs"
HOME_URL="https://bunsenlabs.org"
ID=bunsenlabs
ID_LIKE="debian"
NAME="BunsenLabs GNU/Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="BunsenLabs GNU/Linux 8.5 (Hydrogen)"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.bunsenlabs.org"
VERSION="8.5 (Hydrogen)"
VERSION_ID="8.5"

on a IBM ThinkPad R52 with a logitech K520 wireless keyboard (Spanish Layout) and external monitor attached. After switching the machine on , and closing the lid , I can logon and use the system normally. However, If I open terminal , the keyboard layout is in english.
However , if I open up the laptop , and type in the terminal with the laptop keyboard , the layout is correct. If I then close the laptop lid again , and use the external keyboard , the layout is correct!!!.

Any ideas ?? I have the work around (open and close) , but I would like to understand whats going on , and how to fix it.

Thanks

Re: Keyboard layout in terminal - starnge occurrence

Can we see the output of this command before and after the problem occurs:

localectl

You can try:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
sudo service keyboard-setup restart

It may help to add the chosen keyboard configuration to the initramfs:

If these suggestions do not help, the systemd journal may offer some clues:
