[Bug 1633721] [NEW] Weird input behaviour in some Plasma stuff (Kicker, KRunner, privilege window)

[Ilya Bizyaev]

Public bug reported:

It is impossible to input text properly into some input fields, including the one that asks for sudo password, KRunner, Kicker's search, widget search etc. The problem does not affect anything but plasma stuff.
E.g. when I input "ubuntu", I get "u" or "ub" etc.
I have found out that it is possible to input anything with a big number of repeats. E.g. to input "ubuntu", I can press keys in approximately such order: "ubbbbbuuunnnnnntttttuu". Same for removing characters - have to hit the Backspace key a million times.
The problem has appeared after the Yakkety upgrade.
