Description of problem: I use KDE Plasma 5 in my CentOS8 installation and there are problems with keyboard input: - numpad do not work (cannot write numbers using numpad), - cannot put letters with accent into search field in launcher Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Probably problem with underaying Qt libs (wrong compilation configuration).
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, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt5-qtbase/c/6dbb795e9f7254c1e35b727b4b9c35dadf913787?branch=master
Thank you! Please do you know when will come fixed Qt packages update (EPEL repo)?
(In reply to Josef Marianek from comment #7) > Thank you! Please do you know when will come fixed Qt packages update (EPEL > repo)? 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

My mistake, sorry. Fixed Qt packages still do not come...
I will clone this bug for RHEL and try to fix it there.
Thank you. I've entered new bug to CentOS 8 in category qt5: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17750
as a workaround, until fix is published, you can use packages from flathub keypad is working there as expected https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.kde.kcalc
I have rebuilt the qt-base packages to enable numpad support https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/aminasyan/el8-collection/epel-8-x86_64/02073977-qt5-qtbase/
