Found "the same" bug being reported in GNOME two years ago https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7236 which apparently got fixed. It looks almost the same, but it appears that typing fast was not a requirement in that case. From that bug report, it looks like IBus was implicated? Are you using IBus? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > From that bug report, it looks like IBus was implicated? Are you using IBus? No. |
Created attachment 187789 [details] Keyboard settings SUMMARY When typing FAST - dead keys in Latvian (Apostrophe) keyboard layouts leak or in other words - the diacritics are applied to more than just the letter after the dead key (apostrophe) press. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press `'´ (apostrophe) 2. Press `a` 3. Press `c` 4. Repeat this several times as this can be a bit flaky. Or any other combination with 2 letters which have the diacritic option following each other (āēīōūžčņļķš) OBSERVED RESULT `āč` can be seen EXPECTED RESULT `āc` only seen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.17.11-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12600K Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.1 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Graphics Processor 2: Intel® UHD Graphics 770 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION First I want to say that this creates a lot of grammar errors which should not be there and so the typing becomes very infuriating having to always re-read everything and fix the issues. I have ruled out hardware issue with other keyboard and OS. There are two Latvian kb layouts which use apostrophe - 1. Latvian (apostrophe) and 2. Latvian (apostrophe, dead quotes). Both have the same issue. There is no alternative apostrophe layout. I could not reproduce this on some other language layouts that use dead keys e.g. German. Reproduced on both Wayland and X11.
