            Bug ID: 474624
           Summary: Text selection with shift+arrows half broken on
                    Wayland
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

          Reporter: maiphi.public at gmx.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Text selection with shift + arrow keys on Wayland doesn't work in any KDE
application when the arrow key is pressed before the shift key. The other way
around, i.e. first press and hold shift, then press an arrow key, selection
works.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an application that displays editable text (Kate, KWrite, Dolphin's
location bar, ... this is everywhere)
2. Press and hold an arrow key, then press shift while the cursor is running
through the text.

OBSERVED RESULT
No text ist selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
All text that the curser ran over while holding the shift should be selected.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230908
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is and has always been working fine on X11.
