I already did some initial investigation This is solely a overview effect issue. I'm not exactly sure about wayland case in terms of making it work, because it would be like talk to kwin itself or implement a special QPA. I'd at least assume we can try to make it work under X11. I think the reason behind this is that kwin is using QOffscreenWindow for this effect, and somehow setFocusObject is never triggered to the input method. Thus, input method doesn't know it the text field has focus and just bypass all the key event. 2337724 4 xaver.hugl 2024-07-16 13:39:54 +0000 *** Bug 490286 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2364236 5 bug-janitor 2024-10-10 11:34:05 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6590 2372020 6 bug-janitor 2024-11-05 16:41:31 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6735 2392846 7 kde 2025-01-27 10:21:08 +0000 Git commit 5dca0553899ae53da389dd74bb0c278036bcda83 by David Edmundson.

Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'. input: Support Input Methods for internal windows and effects The internal Qt QPA is now connected directly to InputMethod stack when any item has focus. Unlike the wayland protocol nothing is double buffered because we should process everything before the next frame.
