Description Akira TAGOH 2023-08-22 12:26:54 UTC 
To fill the last piece of the change to accomplish this, we need to add:

IMSETTINGS_IGNORE_SESSION=KDE-wayland

to ibus.conf.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2232064 +++

With ibus-1.5.29 in Fedora 29, QT_IM_MODULE and GTK_IM_MODULE should no longer be set for KDE Plasma Wayland.

Can you make such a change to imsettings, please?

Without that the behavior of ibus in Plasma Wayland is really bad.
(This change should not be made for Plasma X11.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. env | grep MODULE
Actual Results:  
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

Expected Results:  
GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE to be unset in Plasma Wayland

Do we still need it for X11, right?

Yes, we do.

One more question. This report requests to unset GTK_IM_MODULE too. does IBus 1.5.29 work without GSettings and GTK_IM_MODULE on Plasma-wayland?

Yes, it does. Those environment variables need to be unset.

Seems imsettings-plasma was dropped from @input-methods:

https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/c/7553747fb0e4c1c6b97935dde1443e27de5fa3da?branch=main
https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/c/98e56a9cf0425b76e9a0e8237113d87ad0b4cafa?branch=main

So we may need to retest but this could this affect Plasma X11 aversely?

--- Additional comment from Neal Gompa on 2023-08-21 18:16:21 UTC ---

The way this gets set needs to be changed then to only activate when a Plasma X11 session is used. It currently does it unconditionally.

--- Additional comment from Akira TAGOH on 2023-08-22 02:33:54 UTC ---

I'm going to update imsettings for this.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-09-13 15:20:01 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 This update includes the fix for Plasma to have ibus work properly on Wayland and X11. I couldn't figure out a blocker criterion for this, so FE it is.
Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2023-09-13 15:38:07 UTC 
This bug also needs https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/880 merged for it to be effective.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2023-09-13 19:18:29 UTC 
The criterion for this would probably be Final https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Final_Release_Criteria#Keyboard_layout_configuration , which we read as also applying to input methods. We can propose this as a Final blocker if necessary, I guess.
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2023-09-14 06:42:04 UTC 
+3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1307 , marking accepted FE.
Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2023-09-14 18:25:37 UTC 
We signed off Beta candidate 1.1 just now, so unfortunately this won't make Beta. Let's CommonBugs it to explain what to do and what not to do.
Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2023-09-15 11:41:26 UTC 
Akira, do I understand correctly that this should basically solve bug 2226646 , as described in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/on-screen-keyboard-fails-to-open-automatically-in-kde-on-a-touch-device/85479 ?

We still need a few change on maliit-keyboard too. will update a proposed update for conf file.
Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2023-11-06 12:16:46 UTC 
Folks, this is proposed for Common Issues here:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/new-proposed-common-issue-found-unset-gtk-im-module-and-qt-im-module-for-plasma-wayland/89891

I'm not sure what the current state is, and I'm also not able to document it. If this is now resolved, we can close it or at least de-nominate it from Common Issues. If this is not resolved, and still a high-impact issue, I'd appreciate if somebody could create that Common Issue description.

Sorry, I forgot to add this bug to bodhi.
