Description ibrahimzaman2004 2026-02-01 19:15:49 UTC 
SUMMARY
Fn volume keys can enter a stuck repeat state in Plasma Wayland, causing volume to jump to 0% or 100% until the opposite volume key is pressed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold the volume key without Fn (on this laptop, Left/Right arrow keys)
2. While holding the volume key, press Fn
3. Release the volume key, then release Fn
4. Press Fn + volume key again

OBSERVED RESULT
If volume down is pressed, volume continuously decreases until it reaches mute.
If volume up is pressed, volume continuously increases until it reaches 100%.
The only way to stop it is to press Fn + the opposite volume key.

EXPECTED RESULT
Each key press should change volume once (5%) and stop when the key is released. The volume key should not continue repeating after release.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: CachyOS (Kernel 6.18.8-3-cachyos)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Session: Plasma Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Laptop model: MSI Thin GF63 12VE.

The issue does not occur in Ubuntu GNOME, in GNOME Wayland on the same CachyOS installation, or in Windows. Therefore, this issue is specific to KDE Plasma rather than hardware or firmware.
