--- Begin Message ---Package: kate Version: 4:22.12.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, The shift key has no effect when writing (e.g. Shift+a results in 'a' instead of 'A'). Some general observations about the probelm itself: - Caps lock works. - Shift hotkeys work (e.g. Shift+Left in order to mark the character left of the cursor). - Alt Gr has the same problem (I changed my keybooard layout to german and Alt Gr+q prints 'q' instead of '@'). - Some other applications have the same issue (e.g. kwrite, vlc, texstudio, wireshark). I think all my Qt-applications do, but Qt might also be unrelated. Other applications such as xfce4-terminal or firefox work flawlessly. With "distrobox" I created a container for debian stable (like mine) and debian testing, and the problem occurs only in the "stable" conteiner. Therefore, I don't think it's some configuration error of mine. Also, this suggests that the bug has been fixed in more recent package versions. However, those are not available yet for stable via apt upgrade. stable: image: quay.io/toolbx-images/archlinux-toolbox:latest Qt-Version (kate): 5.15.8 kate-Version: 22.12.3 testing: image: docker.io/library/debian:testing Qt-Version (kate): 5.15.10 kate-Version: 23.08.1 Sorry if I made any errors in posting this bug report, as it appears to be fixed in more recent kate versions. I dont know anything about the inner working or policies of debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kate5-data 4:22.12.3-1 ii kio 5.103.0-1 ii ktexteditor-katepart 5.103.0-1.1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u4 ii libkf5activities5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5bookmarks5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5completion5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.103.0-2 ii libkf5configgui5 5.103.0-2 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5crash5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5dbusaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5guiaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5iconthemes5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiofilewidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiogui5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5newstuffcore5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5newstuffwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5service-bin 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5syntaxhighlighting5 5.103.0-3 ii libkf5texteditor5 5.103.0-1.1 ii libkf5textwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5wallet-bin 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5wallet5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.103.0-1 ii libkuserfeedbackcore1 1.2.0-2 ii libkuserfeedbackwidgets1 1.2.0-2 ii libqt5concurrent5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5dbus5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5network5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5sql5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5xml5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 ii plasma-framework 5.103.0-1+deb12u1 ii qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrolsaddons 5.103.0-1 ii qml-module-qtquick-layouts 5.15.8+dfsg-3 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.15.8+dfsg-3 Versions of packages kate recommends: ii sonnet-plugins 5.103.0-1 Versions of packages kate suggests: pn darcs <none> pn exuberant-ctags <none> ii git 1:2.39.2-1.1 pn khelpcenter <none> pn konsole-kpart <none> pn mercurial <none> pn subversion <none> -- debconf-show failed
