Public bug reported:
I have English, Hebrew, and Japanese (mozc) configured as my keyboard
layouts. This usually works fine. However, frequently (maybe once an
hour), only the English layout will emit any characters in specific apps
- namely google-chrome and obsidian (both chromium-based 🤔). This is a
regression since 24.04 (23.10 didn't have this).
Removing Japanese (mozc) doesn't help, this issue still reproduces.
1. I switched my keyboard to Hebrew using the keyboard shortcut
2. The indicator did indeed show Hebrew
3. I focused Google Chrome's URL bar and pushed letter keys on my keyboard
What I expected: Letters show up the URL bar
What happened: Nothing
Hint: Opening a Gnome app, such as hitting Alt+F2 to run `ubuntu-bug`,
or running `gnome-text-editor`, seems to temporarily fix this issue.
I'm not sure which package causes this. However, journalctl does have
these logs show up at roughly the same time:
