I've tried to use the virtual keyboard as well with Plasma Wayland on my Matebook tablet, but it doesn't work at all anymore. I can show it on screen, but typing is not possible. This worked some time ago, not sure when this regressed exactly as I've used it in the past only very seldom on a Dell XPS 13.

Same issue here. Cannot confirm that this used to work, but since 5.19.0 keyboard never worked on wayland.

Same issue here. The keyboard opens as it should. However, it seems any tap (or click) on it is not caught by qtvirtualkeyboard but by the window just behind it.
Tested with plasma 5.19.3, frameworks 5.72 on Arch-linux.
It does work in an X11 session.
