Bug ID: 510278
Summary: Invalid Compose key combination causes permanent
freeze until reboot or sleep
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.5
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: input

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Whenever an invalid compose key combo is hit (ex : `<COMPOSE>` then `p` then
`'`) the system totally freezes. The only ways I have found for now to get out
of it are hard rebooting (pressing the power button) or getting it to sleep by
closing the laptop lid on a laptop.
In the second case, when logging back, the login screen shows only 1/3 of a the
time, else the frozen screen is shown again and I have to do the sleep hack
again. When logged in the wifi had been disabled and takes quite a long time to
reconnect (more than usual it seems) and at the location of the cursor was what
seemed to be about 5 lines of the character wrongly typed (in my example a
`p`).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a compose key
2. Hit an invalid combo
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen freezes
EXPECTED RESULT
An "error" sound should play according to the user's preferences. Nothing
should be input and the screen should not freeze
