Steam's on-screen keyboard modifiers don't work on Wayland apps.

The second layer of the top row keys ('~', !, @, #, ...) doesn't work, type out their first layer (`, 1, 2, 3, ...).
The Paste key types out the letter v.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Go to a text field on a Wayland app (KRunner in video).
  2. Trigger the on-screen keyboard (left joy stick).
  3. Try to type capitalized letters.

This seems fixed now, the Paste key still occasionally types out v though.
