Bug ID: 510642
Summary: Accent keys no longer work in Gtk 4.20 applications on
Plasma Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.5
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
> GTK relies on the Wayland text protocol and compositor-side input method
> support.
> If this isn't working for you, then either your compositor
> does not support the text protocol (unlikely),
> or it does not have any input method support that handles compose sequences
> That's something you need to raise with those compositors.
Apparently KWin does not support it?
Please see the closed issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7740
Offending commit on Gtk's side:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/621b7facc8b098811f659a0cba56d27e6ae39ea2
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any Gtk application running against Gtk 4.20
2. Try to enter a char with an accent such as รก in an input field
OBSERVED RESULT
a is typed
This is for sure a huge problem for languages, which rely on accent keys.
