Public bug reported: The sticky keys "locked" state does not function correctly on KDE Wayland.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Install an affected release, such as Kubuntu 25.10 beta 2. Log into a Plasma (Wayland) session 3. Configure Sticky Keys enabled, plus Lock Sticky Keys. (I use it WITHOUT any other options, if this turns out to be relevant.) 4. Open any text input, such as the Firefox location bar or Konsole 5. Press and release keys in sequence (one at a time): shift, shift, a, -, b, shift, x. Observed result: "a-bx" entered. One MAY also observe that the Lock Keys Status in the tray reflects the result, moving from initially not shown, to "Shift key latched" after one press, and back to not shown (!) after the second Shift key press. Expected result: "A_Bx" entered. Lock Keys Status should show "Shift key locked" for the entire duration between the second and third Shift key presses. Also note that the third press of the Shift key is unlocking the modifier internally, somewhere. If locking didn't work, that would be interpreted as a second latch event, and a capital X would be the result. I have also reported this upstream as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509714 (although I didn't track down a specific component before doing so.)
