In gnome apps numpad works, problem is only in KDE (qt) apps.

I have same problem using CentOS 8 and KDE Plasma 5.18.4
It seems the bug has emerged since updating a bunch of plasma packages circa end June 2020.

I have same problem on CentOS 8.2 and Plasma from EPEL.

I noticed that to make the numeric keypad working I must press SHIFT + NUM and digits appear on Plasma Application (Konsole, Kcalc, Konqueror...)

Solved i qt bugreport system there:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-75523

So installing libxkbcommon-x11-dev and rebuilding qt libs will help.
Hope this will do EPEL team and prepare updated Qt packages.

Thanks for the feedback, this commit should effectively fix it,

I have the same question.  We can't use KDE/QT apps without the numeric keypad working properly, so it is a big issue.

I am not sure the issue resides in packages from EPEL.  On my system it is showing qt5-qttools-common and qt5-qtbase as coming from the AppStream repo.

Source       : qt5-qtbase-5.12.5-4.el8.src.rpm
Repository   : AppStream

Thanks

You are right, in EPEL is KDE, Qt is in AppStream. My mistake, sorry.
Fixed Qt packages still do not come...

I will clone this bug for RHEL and try to fix it there.

Ho it looks, please?
In raven repo it is already fixed, but I want use RH AppStream - I think it is more safe.

Hi, this will be fixed in the next RHEL release.

I had Raven set up, too, and discovered where it was hosted and decided it was risky and removed it.

Does that mean 8.3?

Unfortunately in 8.4. It was too late to include this in RHEL 8.3.

Comment 10 Josef Marianek 2020-10-20 15:15:41 UTC

Is it posibble download fixed packages from some test repo now?

Comment 11 Josef Marianek 2020-10-22 15:06:18 UTC

I've compiled qt5-qtbase myself and it works (in kcalc numpad produces numbers)
