I would like to add that using any other keyboard layout other than English stops this from working. I.e. I use ctrl-w in Russian layout (that would be ctrl-ц) to open overview, but I can not close it with same combination until I switch language to English. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449840 --- Comment #33 from t3n3t --- So the bug is still at large, will it ever be addressed or X11 users should just ditch Overview and Present Windows Kwin effects and wait till Wayland becomes actually viable? Also, just wondering, does this bug affect people with only one keyboard layout (I have two)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

But it seems to me, that in my case the bug was showing up only if I use Meta(Super) key to use the Overview. After I revoked it and skipped to using default Meta+W shortcut, the bug doesn't seem to reproduce. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yeah, sorry. It turned out that latte dock is not related to this issue, since after all I still experience this bug randomly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Two days ago I decided to switch from Latte-dock to default Plasma panels because Latte developer abandoned project. Since then, while latte-dock is not running on my system, I do not experience this bug at all. It's sad both because of the possible reason of the described bug and because Latte's developer resigned. *Sigh* Still, hope my info helps anyone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[kwin] [Bug 434992] New: Switching keyboard layouts stopped working completely on X11
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434992 Bug ID: 434992 Summary: Switching keyboard layouts stopped working completely on X11 Product: kwin Version: 5.21.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: input Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: t3...@yandex.ru Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Switching keyboard layouts stopped working completely on X11. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add secondary keyboard language layout (in my case i use US and RU). 2. Try to switch it via hotkey or system tray applet. OBSERVED RESULT US layout remains unchanged, only way to switch is to manually do it via setxkbmap. EXPECTED RESULT Switch to another layout. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux, Kernel: 5.11.9-arch1-1, KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Switching keyboard layouts does work in Plasma Wayland session, any other DE/WM like Gnome(both X11 and Wayland), i3wm, awesomewm, XFCE. It doesn't work anymore in Plasma X11 session exclusively. Tried full reinstall, switching users, etc - nothing fixes this behaviour. This bug breaks workflow in Plasma X11 session completely for multi-language users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
