Bug ID: 521872
Summary: KDE 6.7 no longer passes key up/down events when the
text input protocol is active
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.7.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input

DESCRIPTION
On Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma 6.7 running Wayland, keyboard input regressed when
the text input protocol is active. This can be observed in the free game
Xonotic when using the SDL Wayland backend: WASD does not move, and the key
binding screen receives no input from alphanumeric keys. The mouse works
normally, as do the arrow keys.
Xonotic enables text input at all times (you can argue whether or not they
should do that, but it is what it is), which means that the Wayland text input
protocol is always active. KDE 6.7 seems to have regressed sending up/down key
events when the text input protocol is active and keys generate text.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Xonotic in a Wayland session
2. Try to move with WASD or rebind any alphanumeric key
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, as alphanumeric keys do not generate key events.
WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 and SDL_EVENT_LOGGING=1 shows no key up/down events being
received.
EXPECTED RESULT
Alphanumeric keys should generate key down/up events in addition to text
events, as they previously did.
