konsole + zsh = wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

SUMMARY
Sometimes when switching back (focusing) to a Konsole window, all of a sudden it gets flooded / filled with same characters as if they were typed in / pasted.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I don't know of any reliable way to trigger this glitch, however I recall it usually happens under these circumstances:

1. Launch Konsole, with my zsh profile
2. Do something
3. Focus away from Konsole
4. Work with other apps
5. Focus back into Konsole window
6. Type any key

OBSERVED RESULT
Boom! The window is flooded with the same character as if it was pressed and held for some time, or typed in repeatedly many times. It seems that amount of characters "pasted" vs. time is a linear dependency.

EXPECTED RESULT
This shouldn't be happening.

Still not sure what causes it, but it still happens from time to time.

latest git master of KDE

I can not reproduce that with 24.08.x.

If somebody can reproduce it with that or a more up to
date version, please re-open.

I recently had this issue again, even couple of times in one day. I'm still not sure which component causes it.

I have no new info to add other than sometimes it still happens and I don't know why. Marking this bug report as RESOLVED won't help anything.
