Bug ID: 488121
Summary: Keyboard layout switching doesn’t work correctly on
Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libinput

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When switching keyboard layout under Wayland, typing text in a native Wayland
app still uses the previous/main layout, but keyboard shortcuts work correctly
in Wayland apps.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure two keyboard layouts
2. Switch layout with the applet or keyboard shortcut
3. Test input and keyboard shortcut in a native Wayland app, and a XWayland app
OBSERVED RESULT
In native Wayland apps, typing still uses the previous layout (e.g. when
switching from Bépo to French (variant), the layout is still bépo) while
keyboard shortcuts uses the current layout (e.g. Ctrl+C with C at his position
in the French (variant) layout works). Restarting the app after layout switch
layout doesn’t work either.
Everything works correctly in apps run under XWayland.
EXPECTED RESULT
In native Wayland apps, typing use the current layout after switching, not only
keyboard shortcuts.
