Description

Sytem: Linux Mint 21.3, Cinnamon

Hi,

I have noticed that it's unable to use or open fcitx5 in cinnamon-menus. When I try to press control and space to open the input method, the cursor will stop flashing but nothing will happen. There may be something wrong.

Thanks for solving this problem.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the Ctrl+Space behavior on Linux Mint 21.3 with Cinnamon and fcitx5, then trace the cinnamon-menus input-handling path. Done means fcitx5 can be opened or activated from cinnamon-menus without the cursor becoming inactive.
