Bug ID: 413781
Summary: [Wayland] Cannot switch keyboard layout in X11-based
applications
Product: kwin
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
[Wayland] Cannot switch keyboard layout in X11-based applications.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Plasma X11 session.
2. Configure two keyboard layouts: English (US) and Russian.
3. Configure a keyboard shortcut for switching between the two keyboard
layouts. I choose the "Menu" key for this.
4. Logout from Plasma X11 session.
5. Run Plasma Wayland session.
6. Run Google Chrome (or another X11-based application: KeePassXC, Telegram,
...).
7. Press "Menu" key to switch to Russian keyboard layout.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The application (e.g. Google Chrome) interprets the "Menu" key press and
opens a context menu.
2. Plasma displays an OSD with a keyboard icon and saying "Russian". I guess
Plasma or kwin thinks that the switch was successful.
3. If I close the context menu and type in something in the Google Chrome
window, it still acts like using an English layout.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Should switch to Russian keyboard layout.
2. Should not open context menu.
