Description Akseli Lahtinen 2025-02-26 11:41:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
Starting to rebind buttons for a remote, then closing the KCM breaks the controls.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Make sure the remote control does anything in any view (like Dolphin file view)
1. Open KCM
2. Start rebinding buttons
3. Rebinding does not really do anything
4. Close the KCM

OBSERVED RESULT
Controls do not work anymore

EXPECTED RESULT
Controls would revert to what they were and keep working

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: SteamOS 3.8 Build: 20250218.1000

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am not sure but it seems like the binding stays on the background, so the keys go to the binding system, not whatever user is trying to interact.

Forgot to mention:
This happens on both X11 and Wayland sessions

Hmmm, https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kremotecontrol is dead since more than half a decade, I think that bug ended up on the wrong product.

Could somebody put that to the right part? Thanks!

Hello!

I had the same problem reported in this topic.

I use Fedora and I followed these steps:

1- I downloaded the latest Fedora ISO dated 03/07/2025;
2- I put the ISO on a Pen-drive with Ventoy;
3- I started the ISO when the notebook booted;
4- Fedora started normally and Plasma recognized the side buttons of my mouse (generic mouse) normally;
5- I installed Fedora on the notebook;
6- I restarted the notebook and started the system normally from the local disk. At that moment, Plasma still recognized the side buttons of my mouse;
7- I updated the system to the latest version (data below);
8- From that moment on, Plasma stopped recognizing the side buttons of my mouse.
