The implementation of the text-input-unstable-v3 protocol sends all the input to a non-enabled instance of zwp_text_input_v3.

Describe the bug

Hello! I'm mostly forwarding a user issue with the text-input-unstable-v3 protocol here (from there: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5672/Wayland-support-input-methods-text-input-unstable-v3#focus=Comments-27-12856093.0-0). As you can see from idea_wayland-debug-logs.txt, Hyprland sends all text events to zwp_text_input_v3#12, although it was never enabled.

Reproduction steps

1. Download and unpack this build of JetBrains Runtime: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/tag/jbr-release-21.0.8b1163.62 .
2. Install the most recent IntelliJ IDEA (Community edition should be enough).
3. Go to menu -> Help -> Edit Custom VM Options... and add the following line: -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit.
4. Following this guide, change the default IDEA's boot runtime to the one you've downloaded at the step 1: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/switching-boot-jdk.html#switch-jdk.
5. Restart the IDE.
6. Try to input smth into the IDE's Editor using input method, you'll notice nothing gets entered and the IM popup is positioned incorrectly.

Note: you can also launch IDEA from the command line like this to observe what's happening with the protocol: WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 idea 2>&1 | grep -E 'zwp_text_input'

can you try this patch

@ancion, unfortunately this time it's challenging to say what's going wrong just from the logs. Is that possible for you to record the screen split in two half where the first half is showing the IDE frame and another is showing the ongoing output of WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 idea 2>&1 | grep -E 'zwp_text_input|wl_keyboard' (don't redirect to a file this time)

@OnePatchGuy video upload failed yesterday, it successed now, I switch input method with shortcut(L_shift) in video.

@ancion the link returns 404

[OnePatchGuy]

Ok, the link is fine now.

@vaxerski, as you can see from 0:24, zwp_text_input_v3#32 doesn't get any events, even zwp_text_input_v3::done, although it's been enabled and sent set_cursor_rectangle to the compositor.

Hey, any updates?

@vaxerski, hi! I unfortunately don't have a Hyprland at hands, hope someone else will check (maybe the affected user by themselves?)
