[Solved] Problem with rofi on different virtual desktops

Hello,
I just installed rofi on my KDE Arch but everytime I run it I can't input anything. It does not accept keyboard input, only mouse. I tried different methods to run rofi -show drun and only managed to make it work on my main virtual desktop. The other ones I can't. Does anyone know what might cause this issue?

Edit:
As I observe I somehow made it work on other desktops but still on others can't. I just changed the theme but somehow it made it work on other places but now all.

KDE/wayland or KDE on X11?

Wayland! Should I use wofi instead of rofi? At least from the link it says that it is for wayland.

Edit: Ok wofi worked better than I imaged. Thanks for suggestion. I am new on this stuff and though that rofi would work, didn't know there is better alternative.
