bug(linux): Keyman do not work on web page inputs

[atzlt]

Describe the bug

Keyman do not work on Xwayland applications (e.g., VSCode or Microsoft Edge) in Wayland desktop.
For example, for the EuroLatin keyboard, all deadkeys do not work (=s or 'a all typed out as-is).
I'm running fcitx5 and installed fcitx5-keyman, if that's relevant.

Actually I now suspect it's a problem with web pages. I cannot enter any accents in web pages (opened in Firefox) either.

@ermshiperete are you able to investigate?

see also #13340, not sure if these are related or not @atzlt?

no they're not (that turns out to be a mistake in my PKGBUILD).
Actually I confirmed that this is not a problem with Xwayland but a problem with web pages (both Firefox and Chromium (Electron)).

@atzlt how are Firefox and Chromium installed? As flatpak or snap package, or directly as binary?

Does it work in the "Keyboard search" field on https://keyman.com/keyboards ? What do you get if you type a=s in that field with the EuroLatin keyboard?

Does it work if you use Keyman 18 from the beta branch? You'll probably have to adjust fcitx5-keyman so that it looks for libkeymancore2 instead of libkeymancore1.

Directly as binary. By "Chromium" I actually mean VSCode, Edge and some Electron-based apps.

Does it work in the "Keyboard search" field on https://keyman.com/keyboards ? What do you get if you type a=s in that field with the EuroLatin keyboard?

No, when I type a=s I get a=s.

Does it work if you use Keyman 18 from the beta branch? You'll probably have to adjust fcitx5-keyman so that it looks for libkeymancore2 instead of libkeymancore1.

I could test that when I get enough time.
