Description Chris Lane 2020-05-26 09:40:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
I am unable to get past the "Welcome to Typewriting Trainer" screen when the app is running with Wayland since I cannot select the "Name" text field.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Wayland
2. `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ktouch`
3. Attempt to type in the "Name" text field in the welcome prompt

OBSERVED RESULT
Unable to type in the "Name" text field in the welcome prompt.

EXPECTED RESULT
Able to type in the "Name" text field in the welcome prompt.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 5.6.14
Qt: 5.14.2
Wayland: 1.18.0
qt5-wayland: 5.14.2
Sway: 1.4-9b5895be (May 18 2020, branch 'master')

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Log for Wayland run: https://gist.github.com/ChrisLane/3807881c82874f8b12703561cb5faec0
2. When running with `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ktouch` to force XWayland to be used, the text field can be used. Log: https://gist.github.com/ChrisLane/e31fa9e1b2c28ef524d3f9b80aebef57
Comment 1 Alex Bradatan 2020-12-10 17:15:29 UTC 
I encountered the same problem using the flatpak version (20.08.3) on wayland with GNOME 3.38.2 on Fedora 33.

It's not just the name. Ktouch doesn't accept any input on Wayland
Comment 4 Vasiliy Glazov 2020-12-25 07:46:34 UTC 
I have the same issue on Fedora with  20.08.3 and 20.12.0 versions.
Comment 5 pakueamb 2021-09-02 18:59:25 UTC 
I just moved from Fedora 33 with Xorg to Fedora 34 with Wayland and found out about this issue. Shame because it's the best Linux typing tutor IMO but I can't use it on my current system.

Same here KDE Plasma 5.23.2 on ArchLinux.

A workaround that worked for me:

  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ktouch

Comment 14 Steve 2023-03-08 03:04:47 UTC 
Same issue on Fedora 37 SilverBlue Kinoite....using KTouch 22.12.3 Released 2023-03-02. The suggested fix is unclear so wasn't applied
Comment 15 Steve 2023-03-12 08:09:15 UTC 
Applied todays 5 meg update, from Fedora Discovery still no joy on K-Touch....if the name is double clicked it takes you to the program but allows no input. The only response is a flashing blue circle around the F Key.....Fedora 37 SilverBlue Kinoite

Replace createWindowContainer with QQuickWidget

Previously ktouch used createWindowContainer with a QQuickView, which
broke Wayland support due to platform-specific behavior apparently
involving keyboard focus.
