Krusader and Google Docs respond incorrectly to keyboard input

My openSUSE Tumbleweed (with Wayland and KDE) started to act strangely recently.

  • Krusader no longer selects the current file or folder when I press Space.

  • When I’m in Krusader’s address bars, the autocomplete only gives me suggestions after I type something and then press backspace. If I want to see subfolders, again I need to type something and press backspace.

  • In Firefox in Google Docs, pressing Space in several cases no longer does what is supposed to do. Typing "* " in a new line should start a bullet list, and typing "1. " should start a numbered list, and pressing space after an URL should create a link, but these no longer happen. Also, typing when something is selected should replace the selection. What happens instead is that each character I type replaces the selection but remains selected, to be replaced by the next character I type.

  • In Firefox in Google Sheets, typing some text no longer replaces the content of a cell. In order to change it, you must first enter the edit mode by pressing F2 or Enter, and then things work as expected.

I logged in as a different user, and that works as expected.

I created a VM with the same software and copied my Firefox profile there, and everything works as expected.

Any idea about what might be causing my issue?

Hi, welcome to these forums.

Does this mean for both issues? I.e. Krusader and FF/Gdocs ?
For the FF problem, did you already try to remove the FF cache? :
Quit FF and then do rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox, then start FF again.

I was sure this was about both, but I tried again and now both Krusader and GDocs behave like in the main account. I even created another account and it’s the same. So perhaps I was imagining things and my issue is with the system as a whole, not with my user settings or caches.

What I tried again (and works fine) is the VM, where Krusader selects when I press space and autocompletes, and GDocs behaves as expected, with the ~/.mozilla/firefox/ copied from the main system.

Krusader ROOT PRIVILEGES started from the main account works correctly, though.

Well, I was thinking of reinstalling anyway, but I’d like to understand what’s going on …
