Description FileX 2024-06-05 05:18:15 UTC

SUMMARY
With Japanese (Mozc) and german layout, the wrong one is displayed and seems to be used to convert input.
So, if I put in "Y" from an english layout keyboard on KDE Connect, Z is being written on the computer.
This works fine with computer hardware when logged in, though in the login screen it is the same as with KDE Connect.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the standard keyboard as input
2. Set the language layout order to German > Japanese
3. Log off and try to tzpe in password
3.2 Or input with KDE Connect

OBSERVED RESULT
Input made based on the english/japanese layout

EXPECTED RESULT
Displayed layout is used throughout KDE Connect and password input

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Operating System: Kubuntu 24.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.116.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
Kernel Version: 6.8.0-31-generic (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When focusing on an input field, the layout in the task bar switches to the german one, no matter what it was before.
Seems to be the case since Kubuntu 24 (maybe also caused by switching to wayland lately).

Does this issue reproduce in a new clean user account with the only change made to it being that you add German and Japanese layouts, and *absolutely no* other settings changed?

It doesn't, but it also seems to not be reproducible since some days ago.
