Keyboard completely stopped working on latest stable release


Updated brave to 1:1.85.118-1 and the keyboard stopped working withing the application. Reinstalling the application doesn’t help.

Installing brave beta 1.86.116 fixes the issue

Additional Information:

using arch linux and have tried kernel 6.18.2-1 and 6.12.63-1 lts

OP issue may interest - and says the OP: “Installing brave beta 1.86.116 fixes the issue”

Update:

ruining “nojail brave” fixes the problem as well. So should be an issue with firejail and latest build of brave.

weirdly enough, on the same system using xfce brave and firejail work fine. The issue only happens with firejailed brave on cinnamon.

Update 2:

running “pkill ibus” before launching brave in cinnamon works, it launches sandboxed with keyboard working again


leaving my own findings here in case someone runs into this issue in the future and finds the post.

I’ve passed this information onto our Linux devs. To confirm, everything works normally when using xfce without disabling firejail?

Correct. Also works fine on kde with fire jail. The issue seems to be only with cinnamon

Thank you for confirming. Will have the team take a look at this. Glad you were able to resolve the issue regardless.
