            Bug ID: 501098
           Summary: Falkon's location bar and web search bar don't work
                    with Fcitx5 on Wayland
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Falkon
           Version: 24.12.2
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: cyber+kde at sysrq.in
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

In Falcon's location bar, only first symbol (or first IME candidate) is entered
correctly, and then:

* "Ctrl + Space" keybinding does nothing instead of cycling input methods
(note: this keybinding is not default).
* "Super + Space" keybinding emits a space character instead of cycling input
method groups (note: this keybinding is not default).
* Every next character is typed not using the current input method, but with
the system keyboard layout configured in Fcitx for the current group.

Web search bar also has this issue, but to the lesser extent. I can type more
characters before this issue appears.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Type "asdf asdf" in the location bar.

Case 1: Current input method is "Russian" keyboard, system keyboard layout
configured for its Fcitx group is also Russian.
Case 2: Current input method is "Russian" keyboard, system keyboard layout
configured for its Fcitx group is English (US).
Case 3: Current input method is Pinyin, system keyboard layout configured for
its Fcitx group is English (US).

OBSERVED RESULT

Case 1: фыва фыва
Case 2: фsdf asdf
Case 3: 爱上对方asdf 

EXPECTED RESULT

Case 1: фыва фыва
Case 2: фыва фыва
Case 3: 爱上对方爱上对方

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I configured Fcitx5 on Wayland using this guide:
https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Using_Fcitx_5_on_Wayland

I have two groups:

1) Group 1:

System keyboard layout: "English (US)"

Enabled input methods:
a. "English (US)" keyboard
b. Pinyin

2) Group 2.

System keyboard layout: also "English (US)", so keybindings still work no
matter what group is currently active.

Enabled input methods:
a. "Russian" keyboard
