In Gnome Wayland, at least the preedit always has a single underline, even though no other preedit styling like different underline styles or foreground and background colours work in Gnome Wayland. At least the single underline under the whole preedit works in Gnome Waylane (The single underline in Gnome Wayland unfortunately cannot switched off for parts of the preedit, but better that underline than nothing at all) Here in Plasma Wayland the preedit has no styling whatsoever. Not even an underline. And all the preedit styling options of input methods are ignored. At least the underline should be there. One should have some indication what is in preedit and what is not. Without that ibus becomes quite hard to use. See attached video how this looks like. Actual Results: No preedit styling Expected Results: There should be some preedit styling, at least an underline at the minimum.

One can also see in the video that switching between input method, no matter whether with Super+space or with the panel menu is super slow. After a switch from one input method to another, the icon of the old input method in the panel remains for a long time. Even the preedit of the old input method sometimes lingers for a long time. It seems like sometimes a focus change is needed to trigger the input method change.

Since Wayland does not support a global keybinding, ibus-daemon checks the key events for Super-space and sends a D-Bus signal to the panel but there are too many key events of Super-space and some D-Bus signals are ignored for key release events. The workaround is to type any keys after you type Super-space.
I thought this would be a know issue of a Wayland specification likes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/153 But IBus has the different behavior between GNOME and Plasma and I now noticed input-method protocol v1 supports the preedit style according to text-input v1 protocol. GNOME uses text-input v3 and seems the preedit style was deleted in v3. Interesting. Thus, this issue can be fixed with input-method v1 in Plasma Wayland.
Now I added IBusAttrPreedit which implements https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/Wayland-Colors https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus/blob/wayland-preeedit-color/src/ibusattribute.h#L97 Wayland text-input protocol V1 provides a few semantics and IBus consolidates IBUS_ATTR_PREEDIT_ERROR_SPELLING and IBUS_ATTR_PREEDIT_ERROR_COMPOSE. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/blob/main/unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v1.xml?ref_type=heads#L251
