Description marko.muc12 2023-06-02 19:03:51 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
I use a Slovenian keyboard layout, Dead keys aren't working anymore e.g.: "~" character is [Alt Gr + 1], i can use Dead Keys everywhere else but in KDE applications, such as Settings, Konsole, Kate, etc.(they also don't work in widgets such as Sticky Notes).  This broke after the Fedora 38 update.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any KDE widget or KDE application
2. press any combination of Alt Gr + key that results in a dead key
3. Nothing happens, no character is written

OBSERVED RESULT
The character is not written

EXPECTED RESULT
A dead key would be written(e.g: ~, ˇ, ^, ˘, ˚, ˛,`,...)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Fedora 38
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have been using this layout with no problems since Fedora 36 when i started using KDE Fedora, it worked up till the Fedora 38 update, the dead keys work in any other application (Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc.).

You said it still works in Dolphin? Or no?

I'd recommend starting with Fedora here since there are a number of changes outside of KDE that could have caused this. Can you report it at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/?

I just noticed that it actually does work in KDE Applications when they are started from the Konsole, and it only stops working when started with KRunner, double click, etc. So I'll report it elsewhere. Thanks for taking the time out of your day.

Have a great day.

hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if it might in fact be a KDE issue in how environment variables are propagated when using GUI launchers or something. Let's see what the Fedora folks say in your bu report there.
