--- Comment #9 from cwo <cwo....@posteo.net> ---
This does come from fcitx5, but we could do a better job of warning the users
that their configuration will be overwritten now that some distributions seem
to ship it for everyone, not just users deliberately installing it for CJK etc.
language input support. I'll dupe it to the main bug we have for this.
php4fan, please complain to your distribution about this; this is not a good
setup by default at present and they should not install it for users that have
not explicitly opted into it. fcitx5 is an input method framework that is used
to type in languages that cannot be typed directly with a keyboard, such as
Chinese with its thousands of different characters. To work properly, it
completely takes over keyboard control, regularly erasing whatever you
configured in plasma. At present there is nothing we can do about this from our
end except warn users. You have two options: 1) uninstall fcitx5, it's not
required unless you need its specific features or 2) configure your keyboard
layout (and how to switch between them if you use multiple layouts) through
fcitx5's configuration. It should be available as an application called "Fcitx
5".
