ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Lucia Mrenica 2022-02-09 10:41:46 UTC 
But only with Context menu key, right? Because here it works correctly with right Alt.
Comment 2 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-02-09 11:02:36 UTC 
Can you post the output of `setxkbmap -query`?
Comment 3 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-02-09 11:14:10 UTC 
also, if you change keyboard settings, does compose key start to work?
Comment 4 d3coder 2022-02-09 11:30:59 UTC 
setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc101
layout:     us,ru
variant:    compose:menu
options:    grp:lalt_lshift_toggle

After i updated to 5.24 from 5.23.90 i only restarted kwin_x11
It works again after i logged out and logged in.
I guess this can be closed?
