--- Comment #1 from Rodrigo <[email protected]> ---
I can confirm this bug is causing a major user-facing issue in Fedora 44 /
Plasma 6.7 (Wayland). 

Because KWin fails to update the XKB group ID/modifiers correctly via the
Wayland input-method protocol, IBus completely breaks dead keys
(accents/tildes) in Chromium/Electron-based applications running natively on
Wayland (such as Brave Browser, Discord, VS Code, etc.).

Symptom:
When typing in Brave under a Wayland session with IBus active, pressing an
accent key (e.g., "ยด") followed by a vowel renders only the vowel (the accent
disappears completely). The IBus panel window briefly flashes and swallows the
keystroke due to the missing modifier synchronization described by the
reporter.

Impact:
This completely ruins the typing experience for users of languages that rely
heavily on dead keys (like Spanish, Latvian, French, etc.) when using
Web/Electron apps, unless they force XWayland via flags or switch to
alternative input methods like Fcitx5.

Please consider giving this issue some priority, as it silently breaks text
input in mainstream web browsers.
