When the KDE Accessibility setting "Slow Keys" is enabled then localc and
lowriter will not receive key presses.  This is a really annoying and
confusing situation to try and resolve as there's no apparent reason for
it when all the other X and Wayland programs seem to work OK.

25.8.x is in experimental and already uploaded to unstable (to be accepted when the archive is still on). Will also be in trixie-backports as sooon as it migrates and trixie-backports is open.


And: If this is reproducible upstream, file it upstream. (and tell me the bug). That is purely upstream material.

And this shows you even don't have the KDE (-kf6) integration installed or ever had. At least due to that output

Please try with installing that, too.

Just tried it in a clean sid and in a clean trixie VM. Enabled that option, started calc. Works.

Both with and without -kf6.


Even after setting it to 10.000 (though I might do something wrong, since that dosn't affect anything, I can type normally without needing to press keys that long...)

Ah, OK, thanks.


Still wondering why it worked for me even without -kf6 installed, but anyways...

You'll want the VCLplug moszly anyway since a11y is part of VCL/that one, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was problems talking to whatever is responsible for a11y in Qt6/KF6 libs without the integration of it...
