Description Patrick Silva 2019-08-05 20:30:15 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. start Wayland session
1. search for "keyboard" kcm in the apps launcher and open it
2. change delay and rate settings
3. click "Apply" button
4. focus "Test area" field and hold any key to test the new settings: no change is noticeable
5. relogin
6. open Kate text editor, hold any key: now the delay/rate settings previously applied have effect

OBSERVED RESULT
Changing repeat delay/rate does not take effect immediately and the Keyboard kcm
shows no warning about required relogin.

EXPECTED RESULT
change in repeat delay/rate should take effect immediately like on X11
or Keyboard kcm should warn that relogin is required for changes to take effect.

Still experiencing this issue with Kubuntu 20.4, Plasma 5.18.5.

As a workaround, `xset r rate 250 25` did the trick.

Comment 5 mjwany48 2021-06-21 17:09:02 UTC

Also have this issue on Kubuntu 20.10, system settings version 5.19.5.

Comment 6 mjwany48 2021-08-09 17:45:53 UTC

Stopped happening when switching to Kubuntu 21.04

Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2021-09-24 15:52:54 UTC

On Plasma 5.23 beta, re-login is no longer required.
But I do not notice much difference when testing minimum and maximum rates in Kate.
On X11, repeat rate is extremely slow when I set the minimum value.
Is this expected? Or should I open another bug report?
