SUMMARY When using arrow keys to move the text cursor in a text box, the text cursor does not move. It can still be moved by an entire word by holding control, however normal movement does not do anything. When pressing enter, it instead types a random character, which is usually d, n, m, s, newline, or backspace STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any editable text using KDE Plasma 2. Type enough text for the cursor to be able to move and hit any arrow key 3. Hit enter OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens when using arrow keys and enter prints a random character EXPECTED RESULT Arrow keys move the text cursor in their respective direction (up arrow key moves text cursor up, right arrow key moves text cursor right, down arrow key moves text cursor down, and left arrow key moves text cursor left) Hitting enter always types a newline, instead of typing a random character SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This first started happening when I was editing a text document in Kate. I have tried restarting the computer, but it did not do anything. I have tried reinstalling QT (with `sudo pacman -Rdd qt5; sudo pacman -S qt5`) and then reinstalling KDE Plasma (with `sudo pacman -Rdd plasma; sudo pacman -S plasma`) however this did not solve the issue. I have tried going to the shortcut settings and seeing if the text cursor keybinds have been changed, however said keybinds do not exist.
Thanks for the bug report. Can you let us know if this also happens with a brand new user? There may be some setting that was inadvertently changed. Thanks!

I unfortunately do not have any idea on which configuration it would be that would cause this, or if it is configurable in system settings Hope this helps
Moving back to reported. Just a heads up, our bug triaging procedures https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging#If_you_can_reproduce_the_bug are to mark as bug as "Confirmed" if it has been able to be reproduced by folks doing triage or development work, or if there is a large number of distinct user reports coming in for the same issue.
