Bug

Description

Hi! I updated my system yesterday night and today I am having issue when moving the focus from a window to another. After moving the focus, my I can type in the active window but most of the keystrokes wouldn’t get through (arrow keys and backspace mostly).

If I open a terminal, then focus to a browser, then focus back to the terminal, I can see the text focus is on the browser address bar and some keys bindings, such as Ctrl+S would open a prompt to save the web page, even tough the active window is the terminal.

Additional observations:

• Moving between terminal windows doesn’t reproduce the issue.
• Moving the focus back and forth between the same windows fixes the focus issue.
• Opening a new window and closing it immediatly to return to the previous window also reassigns the focus correctly.

I am using Fcitx v5.1.9, killing this process resolves the issue.

I tried hyprland-git but it is even worse, I cannot type on any window except a terminal (Qt, GTK and Electron apps all fail to register keystrokes).

How to reproduce

1. Launch Fcitx
2. Launch a terminal such as Kitty.
3. Move focus to a GTK app such as Firefox.
4. Move focus back to the terminal.
5. Tap “space” key, it should register
6. Tab “backspace” key, it should not register.
