OS: Linux
Version: alacritty 0.10.1 (2844606)
GNOME Wayland 42

This could be a mutter/gnome-shell bug and was reported in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4776, however I can't reproduce this w/ any other text-input-v3 client I tried(namely kitty, foot, supertuxkart with SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland and gtk3&4 apps with env -u GTK_IM_MODULE), so reporting this here.

I tried that and the preedit text does appear as expected, but the bug is still there.

Also apparently with that branch I can't input anything or even press enter after switching on and then switching off the IME

Could you provide WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 alacritty --print-events log from the branch I've linked?

How recent your GNOME is? I can't repro any of those issues on gnome on latest fedora...

GNOME 42.1. Repro'd with both fcitx5 and ibus. Also I should have been more clear: I can't input anything after using the IME to input a word, then switching off the IME, that is, switching back to English.

Edit: I can input after switching to another window and then switch back to alacritty.

It's either a GNOME issue or fixed in latest rc.
