Created attachment 156114 [details] Video from the issue Sometimes when I open up the Application menu I cannot type anything into the search field: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open application launcher 2. Click into the search field (optional shall has focus by default) 3. Type string OBSERVED RESULT Nothing entered/displayed applications not filtered EXPECTED RESULT Displayed applications shall be filtered SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION "Stock" KUbuntu 22.04
The search field itself working in these cases: by pasting text into the field it works as expected. I also noticed the same behaviour with the clipboard history taskbar widget.
I wonder if this has to do with accented text support. Does it still happen if you change the UI to en_US (American English), which uses no accents?

In the meantime I spotted a thing which is related to the issue : I have an iBus helper? applet in the taskbar. If it is not present the application launcher and clipboard history filters are working, if I exit from the iBus applet it stops.
Interesting. Is that 100% reproducible for you? I.e. it always works when IBus is not running, and it never works when IBus is running? Or is it more random than that?

Or is it more > random than that? If I quit from the ibus applet (assuming ibus is not running anymore) the text input in the application menu and the clipboard history got broken. Interestingly the Alt+F2 search is still working. I suspect that the reason why I did not noticed this correlation between ibus and this bug is the fact that sometimes when I wake from suspend my machine there is a glitch in the KDE: the taskbars disappear,ing the night colourisation turning off for a moment. After a short period things got restored, but I assume that after these events the ibus daemon did not get restarted. It did not happened since I opened this bug, but when it happens again I will take a look on the ibus status.
Well that's really odd.

Note that PlasmaComponents.3/TextField.qml incorrectly uses TextInput.Normal echo mode (echoMode property) when it was actually meant to be TextInput.PasswordEchoOnEdit. That might or might not have something to do with it too, I'm not sure.

So if iBus applet was not started from the beginning, everything works? And the problem only arise if it was started initially and you exit it? What if you disable iBus applet permanently and restart the session? Can you also check if you have some sort of ibus daemons running in the system/ibus packets installed? Try to get rid of it to investigate the problem.
