Still cannot reproduce. Is anyone able to reproduce this in Plasma 5.19 or 5.20
(released tomorrow)?

To be more specific, I observed the issue without the need to suspend or
restart the PC when I launched Discover to install some updates, and I wasn't
able to enter my password at the prompt.

I can confirm that the keyboard layout issue is still reproducible after
quitting IBus.

I checked the bug report you mentioned. While I do have IBus and Gnome Keyring
installed, I'm not convinced this is a duplicate, especially given what I said
I had to do to fix the problem described in the initial report.

I didn't have to interact with IBus or Gnome Keyring; I only had to reset my
KDE Workspace as I explained in a prev. comment.

It seems that if, in someone else's estimation, this is really a duplicate,
then the question of how removing ~/.config/ and ~/.local/ does anything to
"fix" problems caused by IBus and/or Gnome Keyring will need a good answer.
It's at least not clear to me how that would be related.

In addition, the other bug report points to running out of memory as a
"trigger" for the problem, whereas my PC's memory usage doesn't fit that case
for the initial report or keyboard layout issues I mentioned more recently.

I encountered what seems to be a variation of the issue after configuring an
additional keyboard layout.

I added another keyboard layout as follows:

1. Open System Settings >> Input Devices >> Keyboard >> Layouts tab
2. Check "Configure layouts" to enable the widgets below
3. Click the "Add" button
4. Use the following settings:
a. Limit selection by language: English
b. Layout: English (US)
c. Variant: English (US, international with dead keys)
d. Label: es
e. Shortcut: None
5. Click "Apply"

It'll work fine immediately after adding it, but I encounter the issue after
the PC wakes up from being suspended.

1. Open the Application Launcher >> Leave >> Suspend
2. Wake up PC after a while and log back into your session
3. Open Application Launcher and try to make a search


Any setting may work, but I've not tested many and the ones above are the ones
I used. I don't know if it'll happen with any possible keyboard layout, or if a
specific layout needs to be "active" at some point to trigger it.

In addition, after hitting the issue, trying to re-open the "Configure layouts"
window after waking up the PC takes 1+ minute and often hangs, making it
difficult to undo the cause.

In order to fix it, I've had to (patiently) go back to the keyboard layouts,
undo the steps I outlined above, and then reboot the PC for things to go back
to normal.

There seems to be a deeper issue here.

I was able to "fix" the issue by completely resetting my KDE Workspace.
Basically, this means I had to:

1. Log out from my session
2. Remove the ~/.config/  and  ~/.local/  directories
3. Log back in

I don't know why this happened and certainly not why resetting the KDE Plasma
Workspace this way was necessary to "fix" it.

This is the summary. For more details, please see my more user-friendly
response to my own question at https://askubuntu.com/a/974082/535457

In any case, it's clear that something in the KDE Plasma Workspace configs got
messed up hard enough that the only way to fix it was by resetting the
workspace itself.

After additional use, I've observed that the problem is not limited to
Application Launcher, but is also visible when authenticating to install
package updates (e.g. authentication dialog pop up from Discover) and the
network manager.

I no longer know under what category this issue should be classified and would
appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could set a more appropriate, and
perhaps more general, classification.
