Maliit keyboard not showing up Plasma 6

Desktop Environments Plasma

Hi, I currently try to get the onscreen keyboard up and running. Therefore I installed maliit keyboard. I also configured it as the virtual-keyboard to use in the settings. When I now try to use it, by touching an input field on the display the keyboard does not show up. Here is a screenshot of the home menu, where I try to type in the search (normally my home menu is in the bottom left corner of my screen:

In other applications nothing happens. When I launch maliit-keyboard in the terminal the following is outputted but nothing else regardless if I try to use the keyboard or not:

Have you got extra/qt5-graphicaleffects installed?

Strangely not updated to qt6 yet, I have a Surface Pro, but currently running Hyprland and I never take the keyboard off.

Thanks I did not have this package installed. And it fixed it. Though I wonder why this is not listed as a dependency: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/maliit-keyboard/.
Now that I read the error message it is kind of obvious…
Thanks for helping me out

it clearly is a dependency, and should get installed with maliit-keyboard package already.
