does it work on sway?

[qomosoloto]

Got same issue suddenlly, don't know why. Maybe caused by some updates today (on archlinux), and bind = Ctrl+Shift, Home, exec, pkill fcitx5 || fcitx5 # restart fcitx5 will crash hyprland to logout which never happend before!!! And I can not use fcitx5 in obsidian since today, I can switch it manually but can't type anything. But it's okay before today.

[vaxerski]

provide a debug stacktrace if crashing

[qomosoloto]

provide a debug stacktrace if crashing

Provided the crashReport, does it help ?

[ZreXoc]

In my condition fcitx didn't crash, just can't input in certain programs. Sometimes the candidate box will displays on the top left corner of the screen, but when I select the word, nothing was input.

your first issue seems to be dupe of https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/2146

Yeah, exactly same. But it worked before, such as Jetbrains IDEs, Obsidian. Saddly now I can't not input chinese when using them...

Ant it seem that this problem has not been solved.

[mjkx5]

use hyprland-git replace hyprland on archlinux, which reduce probability of the error occur. I donot know why, but It occur in my computer.

It exists, but reduce the frequency of the error.

[vaxerski]

has it ever worked? is this a regression? (aka can you test 0.39.1)

Both not. Actually i got the issue few months ago when i first installed and played a game on hyprland. Except the program i mentioned above, everything have been working fine

After switching to hyprland-git, fcitx5 got working !!!!!

version: hyprland-git 0.40.0.r141.722d537a-1 not work for me. Any config about fcitx5?

Just something in /etc/environment, because gnome DE also installed.

I didn't set it due to some warnings before. Now I add it back but still not work. : (

[dingiso]

I'm having a similar issue. From my experience, all X Window applications (xwayland) don't work with Fcitx5 initially, but the problem can be resolved by restarting the Fcitx5 input method

[DirkFi]

Yeah. Same issue here. I can use fcitx5 in most apps but the system google search and cider. The env variables are correct. Still have no clue how to fix it.
