[TF2] [Linux] switch input source minimizes game window with vulkan #5896

I have two input sources set at my OS to write text in different languages. When I switch input source while in game (e.g. to text in chat), TF2 window suddenly minimizes (similar to alt-tab, but with slightly different animation). It reproduces every time I switch input source.

I tried different keys as Switch to next input source hotkey but problem occurred for every key.

The problem happens only when game run in fullscreen mode. Also, this problem occurs only with vulkan version of the game. I tried legacy OpenGL version and it works fine.

Just found workaround for my problem. I set hotkey for switching input source via gnome tweak tools instead of Ubuntu system settings app. And if I use this hotkey, the problem does not happen. I do not understand why it happens, but probably switching input source via tweak tools hotkey works slightly different.

It's still not very comfortable since if I bind switch to super+space via tweak tool, it doesn't work (not really understand why). So I have to get used to new hotkey.
