Krita UI blue highlight bug

SUMMARY
Whole UI is highlighted in blue when using keyboard shortcuts

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Create or open a document in Krita.
2.  Use any key other than ctrl, fn, cmd, alt, shift, caps lock, del, backspace.

OBSERVED RESULT
The keys listed above when used on their own doesn't trigger the bug. Using any other key highlights the whole screen with a blue tint which temporarily disappears when moving the canvas, or with certain keyboard shortcuts like changing the brush size. Pressing the enter key changes the blue highlight to white, and nothing gets rid of the white highlight. The problem persists when using different physical keyboards.

EXPECTED RESULT
Using a keyboard for shortcuts does not highlight the whole screen.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android 16
Krita 5.2.14

Not something I can reproduce on any device I have available.

Which device is this?

Which keyboard application are you using? You should be able to find this under the "Language & Input" settings under "Current keyboard". Does it work when you switch to a different keyboard, if you have any installed?
