Godot Version
4.6
Question
I just switched to linux mint from windows and encountered this issue in godot.
Input doesn’t work on the russian keyboard layout, both in editor and in game, unless I hold down alt or left click the mouse. This includes typing in LineEdit and TextEdit. This affects specifically the letter keys - everything else works fine.
I am unsure whether this is a godot or linux issue, but it doesn’t seem to affect any other programs

Godot Version

Question
Anywhere in the script editor, when I enter a tilde, like for accented words in spanish (eg. “campeón”) the editor freezes and I can’t write anymore until I restart the program.
For example, if I want to write
my_label.text = "Un árbol"
I can´t get past
my_label.text = "Un ´"
and the editor freezes. Even if I try to escape it with “'\´”.
I can´t find info on this error anywhere, so I guess either I’m missing …
It’s a known issue with the ibus, try the suggested solutions mentioned here:
