Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

I just upgraded Fedora 28 to 29, and now when clementine is open my keyboard won't work. Within clementine itself, I can hold a key down for about 1 second and receive it's output, but in any other program (including the desktop environment) I get no response from keyboard input until I close clementine. When pressing a key, the tab bar in clementine will highlight while the key is pressed.

Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)

[eclipseo]

If you're using Wayland it might be this bug #5462

[emj04]

I'm using Xorg.

I tried reproducing the bug under Wayland, and while the behaviour is the same within Clementine the keyboard seems to work normally everywhere else.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, switching to Wayland appears to allow the keyboard to work with some programs, but not others. Of the programs I tested Gedit, Nautilus, GNOME Software, GNOME Calculator, LibreOffice and the desktop environment work fine, Firefox, Brave, Tor Browser, Thunderbird, GIMP, Darktable do not work.

Problem exists only in newer version clementine.x86_64 1.3.1-30.20181020gitfb00835.fc29
Initial version clementine.x86_64 1.3.1-27.fc29 is running fine.

Same issue. GNOME 3.30.2, Fedora 29, Clementine 1.3.1.

Some comment left on the Redhat bug:

--- Comment #3 from cyrille.marc ---
Hello, I have the same issue on my fedora 29 x86_64. I do not know the cause of
the issue but I found how to delete it. It is necessary to delete all keyboard
shortcuts in the clementine settings. After, all is good. Greetings.

Setting all Clementine shortcuts to "none" works for me on both Xorg and Wayland.

Can confirm the workaround (deleting all shortcuts) works on Fedora 29 X session with Clementine 1.3.1. Interestingly media key on keyboard (MS Natural Ergonomic 4000) still works even after doing that.

@jonaski It seems to affect Strawberry too

I have the same issue, I tried deleting shortcuts, in prefs menu and from conf file and no luck. I'm on wayland gnome 3 fedora 29, and the keyboard is available in terminal and others but not on my browsers. Closing clementine releases the keyboard for use in those locations.
Also, visualiser doesn't work.

Can someone clarify this. Is this a wayland problem or not? Is it Gnome only, or all desktop environments using wayland?
Do you have "Use Gnome's shortcuts" in the settings? Did you try to turn it on?
If its only wayland, we could use QGuiApplication::platformName() to create a workaround.

[eclipseo]

Not Wayland only. On Wayland it only affect X11 apps, GNOME ones aren't affected. On X11, all apps seems not to receive input. On KDE X11, no issue. Removing the default shortcuts seems to work as a workaround.

Not Wayland for me.

Is there anything you want me to run on my machine to help?

Not working for me either. Only started a couple weeks ago actually. I am able to bind the button in Clementine and KDE, but it doesn't actually detect it in the application. It also steals focus from the keyboard.

I'm on X11, KDE Plasma, and Fedora 29.

Edit: It did work when I bound it to a different key, "P" I was able to pause/play but it still steals focus. Media keys don't work at all, but are able to be bound.
