Pyside6 virtual keyboard do not work.

Calcifer

Hi All, I am running a pyside6(6.7.3) qml application on ARM Ubuntu Wayland-based platform, python version is 3.12.
When using the QtVirtualKeyboard, virtualkeyboard can popup, but windows will lose focus, so it will result the virtualkeyboard hide immediately.
QWidget also has such a problem.
I tried pyside6 6.6.0 ~ 6.7.1, none of them works.

And when I use virtualkeyboard under xorg, no Chinese prompt words appear.

What I'd like to confirm is if there is no way to make the virtual keyboard work under Wayland.

Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks advance.

I have read these related post:

It is not currently supported on Wayland clients. See the comments at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-94994

@JKSH Thank you,

In fact, on this aarch-linux mechine, qtvirtualkeyboard works well on Konsole, I don't know how Konsole did it.

I even tried Pyside2 5.12.5 and it didn't help.

I just install qt5, and tried a QTextEdit case under Qt/C++, qtvirtualboard works well.

Aren't C++ and pyside calling the same underlying library?
