Ibus stopped working with Plasma wayland after some recent update

[keescase]

Maybe it is a problem that has been solved in this topic:

Problem with keyboard language after update

I ran an update of EOS the other day and after that a strange problem has arisen. I use Swedish on my keyboard but after the update it changes to US after every reboot, even if I remove US from the list completely, SV disappears from the list every reboot. I have tried to solve it in several different ways but nothing I do works… Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve it?

@keescase No, that seems to be totally different. It is fcitx5, not even ibus

This wiki about Ibus mentioned fcitx5 as a related article, so I thought the topic might help.

IBus - ArchWiki

fcitx5 is an alternative to iBus – However the layout I am using is only supported in iBus

I found a solution.

First, remove iBus from startup applications and remove QT_IM_MODULE and GTK_IM_MODULE environment variables.

Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Virtual Keyboard and choose iBus Wayland. Reboot. Afterwards, it should work. You may have to choose your input languages once again in iBus settings.
