Summary: Keyboard layouts are not working in many applications
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.5.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
First, I am sorry if this issue is reported for the wrong component. I have no
idea which parts of KDE are responsible for something like the keyboard
layouts, so I tried to take a wild guess >,<
Since 6.5 when opening many applications (games, flatpak discord etc) they will
not use my set keyboard layout (US international) but are stuck in normal US
layout. That means it is impossible to type characters the other languages I
type in require me to use. The keyboard layout works as it should inside KDE
apps and more, but not in all applications anymore. The US international layout
is the only one I have set but it is not being used.
I tried changing from 'US international dead keys altgr' to 'US international
combined unicode' but both behave the same way in regards to the issue. I added
both and tried switching between them, but that won't fix it either.
The only workaround is removing and readding the layout and apply the setting.
Reapplying the layout setting will correctly use that layout in the
applications that were stuck normal US. That is until reboot.
Currently I can not type regularly on my computer without doing that back and
forth and it is really a problem.
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot with KDE 6.5 with an alternative keyboard layout like US international
set beforehand
2. Try typing special characters with AltGr into various programs
3. Many will not register the layout and are using US default instead
OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard layout stuck in US default
EXPECTED RESULT
type with set layout (US international)
