SUMMARY
Keyboard repeat is not working in Brave browser when using KWIN WM. If I use other WM, keyboard repeat works perfectly in Brave Browser. No keyboard accessibility function is turned on in the keyboard settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use KWIN WM.
2. Open Brave browser. 
3. Hold a key to repeat

OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard repeat is not working

EXPECTED RESULT
The pressed key should repeat and show as many letter as possible until key press is removed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  CachyOS 6.18.2-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.4 
Qt Version: 6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

This bug occurs in multiple distros if they have KWIN WM. Other WM fixes the problem.

Are they using KGlobalAccel for stuff? That would be strange.

No, it's unrelated to global shortcuts
