Problem With Fcitx5

So, I have a problem with Fcitx5 lately, which is I can type normally (in chinese) on a certain window but I couldn't with the other, the video is pretty self explanatory: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eOshVz … sp=sharing

Oh yeah, and I use Hyprland.
Thanks.

And likely meaningless, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Wild guess, does it hinge on xwayland?

My apologies, I read the "How to ask questions the smart way" and came back, here's my journal.

How will the journal be helpful here?

Re: Problem With Fcitx5

I have the same issue with Chromium (running in wayland gtk4 mode, under swaywm). As long as there is a single window, fcitx works fine. Multiple windows (side by side, or on different virtual desktops), then IME only works for one of them.

No such issue in firefox, terminal, etc. so it should be something chromium specific I guess.

Re: Problem With Fcitx5

Tried any of the "--wayland-text-input-version=3" or --en/disable-wayland-ime for chromium/electron?

Re: Problem With Fcitx5

Okay. Well. Disabling wayland text input version 3 makes IME work in multiple windows. That's great. But then AltGr key stops working, so I can't type ASCII anymore. So it's useless for me. Maybe it will help OP...

I'm tuning out chromium anyway. Why is every browser buggy, sigh
