Version First 6.6.1
Reported In:

SUMMARY
Since updating to Plasma 6.6, the Level 5 latching mechanism (required for the
German E1 keyboard layout) no longer works in standard Wayland applications
(both Qt and GTK).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set keyboard layout to German (E1)
2. Open any Wayland application (KWrite, Plasma Systemsettings, Firefox)
3. Press Alt Gr + F (to latch Level 5) and release
4. Press x.
OBSERVED RESULT
The character x is typed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The character „ (doublelowquotemark) should be typed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
First experienced in KDE Plasma 6.6.0. This definitely worked in 6.5.x. I first
didn't think it could be Plasma, but it definitely has to be since this is now
regressed in *all* applications. And only after updating to Plasma 6.6. Also,
"wev" shows the correct behaviour:
