Description Jonathan D.A. Jewell 2026-02-07 12:29:40 UTC

maliit-keyboard enters rapid crash loop (5 crashes in 13 seconds) on Fedora Kinoite 43 KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, despite being a desktop machine with no touch input hardware.

**Crash pattern (Feb 7, 2026):**
10:19:53 - Process 2060 crashed (SIGABRT)
10:19:56 - Process 1012401 crashed (SIGABRT) - 3 seconds later
10:20:02 - Process 1012666 crashed (SIGABRT) - 6 seconds later
10:20:03 - Process 1013326 crashed (SIGABRT) - 1 second later
10:20:06 - Process 1013469 crashed (SIGABRT) - 3 seconds later

**System Information:**
- OS: Fedora Kinoite 43
- Kernel: Linux 6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64
- Desktop: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)
- maliit-keyboard-2.3.1-11.fc43.x86_64
- maliit-framework-2.3.0-10.fc43.x86_64
- Hardware: HP ZBook (desktop-class laptop, no touchscreen)

**Impact:**
- Generates 800+ lines of coredump spam per crash
- No legitimate use case (desktop machine, no touch input)
- Affects system monitoring (false error storms)

**Workaround:** systemctl --user mask maliit-server.service

**Reproducibility:** 100% (crashes on every boot until service masked)

**Related:**
- Possibly related to Qt5 vs Qt6 mismatch
