If you mash the keyboard modifier keys and then try again, does it work?

If not, can you please reboot, reproduce the problem, and then paste the output of running `journalctl -b 0 --user-unit=plasma-plasmashell.service --no-pager` in a terminal window? If the text is really long, please attach it as a file.

Thanks!

Hi Graham! I like your blogs. sorry for the late reply. I have restarted many times. I couldnt attach the output as it was to big so here is a gdrive upload instead. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NwKxFKQ1xnMPIo-5JNTjqovdXYLiQrjN/view?usp=sharing

Hmm, the content there spans multiple hours so it will be borderline imposible to find the needle in that haystack. Can you narrow it down a bit by doing this?

- reboot
- immediately reproduce the problem
- immediately open Konsole and run `journalctl -b 0 --user-unit=plasma-plasmashell.service --no-pager`
- copy and paste it here into a comment
