The key combination to activate QS (activation shortcut) stops working when I switch the input source using command+space, and still doesn't work when I switch back to the original input source. QS does not crash in the process; it is still running, and I can access immediately it by clicking on the icon in the dock.
If I re-launch QS, the activation shortcut works again, until I switch the input source again. I first noticed this a few months ago, but I don't switch input sources that often, but it has happened often enough now that it seems to be a bug. I have been using QS for many years, and this is definitely a recent bug. Maybe it started with Ventura (OS 13), but I'm not certain.
Specifically, my activation shortcut is command+the-left-most-key-in-the-number-row (in other words, directly to the left of the number 1, and below esc). The input sources I use most are standard German (so the activation shortcut is command+^), Estonian (so the activation shortcut is command+ˇ) and a home-made layout based on standard German (so the activation shortcut is also command+^). As mentioned above, I have been switching between these input sources for many years while using QS, but this bug only appeared recently.
Steps to reproduce
QS is running, and my activation shortcut activates QS
switch input source (keyboard layout) using command+space or by selecting a different source in the menu bar
QS activation shortcut no longer activates QS
switch back to the initial input source, and QS still isn't activated by the activation shortcut
Expected behavior
I expect the activation shortcut to continue to activate QS, regardless of whether I switch input sources
