I create this topic to report an issue.
I installed the latest version of Brave (1.79.118) this morning. When I typed in the search bar, no character appeared, but I was able to paste an URL. Also, I couldn’t type in any textbox.
Update: Ironically, the only combination that I can use is Ctrl + T, which opens a new tab.
I have been using Brave on Debian 12 KDE Plasma 5.27.5. I created this topic using Firefox.
Same here.

I’ve suspected that a prior Chromium update somehow impacts a subsequent Brave update. I experienced this before and it was many months before I was able to release an update “hold” on Brave. See: “Aw snap error code 5 after install of Brave version 1.73.89 on Raspberry Pi5”

Update: If I activate the henkan 「変換」 I am able to create input although the final Enter key action does not work. Moreover, input via henkan on Chromium browser Version 136.0.7103.113 (Official Build) built on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) (64-bit) now does not work although roman character input does (obviously, that’s how I am creating this). I’m leaning towards a Chrome engine update as the culprit.
Same problem here.

Interestingly, when starting brave with firejail with the --nodbus option, keyboard input then works.
Could the issue be related to dbus in a way?
Here’s my workaround launch script:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/firejail --nodbus brave-browser
same problem here with me
