Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Bitwarden browser extension on Arch Linux with KDE/Wayland, Chrome 149, and fcitx5-hangul, then compare Korean, Japanese, and English input behavior. Done means the extension accepts and switches between those input methods instead of remaining in English.
