SUMMARY
Using and then hiding Plasma Keyboard leads to unintentional character inputs from physical keyboards as it continues to interpret keyboard inputs.

Physical arrow keys will move the selected key in Plasma Keyboard and hitting enter will make Plasma keyboard send whatever key is still highlighted (but not visible) into the selected field.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Plasma Keyboard as a Virtual Keyboard
2. Enter Konsole and hide Plasma Keyboard
3. Send arrow key inputs from a physical keyboard
4. Further input into Konsole matches Plasma Keyboard selected key and not key entered on physical keyboard.

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma Keyboard is leading to unintended character input.

EXPECTED RESULT
Keys should be interpreted correctly regardless of Plasma Keyboard being shown/hidden.
