Description Sudip Shil 2023-09-05 18:54:50 UTC

It seems like if we do ibus restart then the ibus panel dispappers
Then we need to type systemsettings5 in konsole and then search input method and and first need to click/select on NONE then have to select ibus Wayland and then only the ibus panel appears. It's a bug.

So after "ibus restart", ibus panel should appear again at the bottom right corner.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Plasma Wayland desktop and Log into the desktop session.
2. Run konsole and type env and if you find QT_IM_MODULE=ibus or GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus, you need to run im-chooser and select "No Input Method" and make sure QT_IM_MODULE and GTK_IM_MODULE environment variables are not set on konsole.
3. Run systemsettings5 and open "Input Devices" -> "Virtual Keyboard" and select "IBus Wayland" and press "Apply" button.
4. Focus on the konsole input context and IBus panel icon will be shown.
5. Then try "ibus restart" command in konsole.[the ibus panel won't appear again]


Expected Results:  
After "ibus restart", ibus panel should appear again at the bottom right corner.

The ibus start|restart is not supported in Plasma Wayland yet.

You can use systemsettings5 instead to disable IBus.
Run systemsettings5 and open "Input Devices" -> "Virtual Keyboard" and select "None" and press "Apply" button.
