RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

--- Additional comment from bgroper on 2020-08-13 09:12:13 UTC ---

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...)

--- Additional comment from Josef Marianek on 2020-09-10 06:29:36 UTC ---

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.

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)
