            Bug ID: 393907
           Summary: Problems with keyboard layout using wayland
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: freekdekruijf at kde.nl
  Target Milestone: ---

I am using Wayland Plasma session, first without defining a keyboard layout,
because I assumed the layout would be copied from the chosen layout during
installation. That layout is: US with dead keys (US int.). However I could not
enter an accent using the that key followed by pressing the space bar. Instead
the popup appears to enter a command like when using <Alt>+<f2>. It is the same
for other dead key characters. After that I started systemsettings5 and found
that no keyboard layout was active, so I configured US+int. (US with dead
keys). I had the impression - can't remember for sure - i could enter character
using dead keys. However after a reboot and starting a Wayland Plasma session
again, the wrong behavior was back. Using systemsettings5 to inspect the layout
of the keyboard, the configuration with US with dead keys was still there.
Adding a normal US keyboard and getting the ability to switch between these
layouts, I found that US with dead keys did not what I expected. In the test I
used konsole to enter text.
