[Post-Install] Keyboard doesn't work sometimes

[vanadiumboy]

It seems that the keyboard sometimes doesn't work.

I have Kubuntu 26.04 with Wayland only.


Problem 1:
I copy text in Firefox. I highlight the text. Press Ctrl-C
Press Alt-tab and now I am on LibreOffice Writer

I press Ctrl-V and nothing happens. I can see the copied text in the Clipboard thing.

I do Alt-tab a couple of more times and this fixes the issue. Ctrl-V works again.

Problem 2:
One time, it was in a weird state or some key was considered pressed I think. Firefox was doing some strange things.
I think I pressed a few buttons on the keyboard and I think the "up states" was registered for the keys and it started to work again. I don't know if this was a Alt button problem again.

Problem 3:
One time, it seemed like the Alt button was stuck while I was in LibreOffce Writer. Whatever I pressed on the keyboard, the commands were going to the Writer menu.


======================
I haven't tried another keyboard but I suspect this is a Wayland bug.

my guess i you have a focus policy that is diverting focus away from the target before you can paste.

try looking at settings > window behavior > focus

and review your settings.
