You need to tell it to Wayland.

X11 works. Wayland not so much, Wayland is still hit or miss.

Mint give a choice of x11 or Wayland--which Mint still considers as experimental.

In Linux, Calibre tries to do the same thing. But, it puts that box of remembered possibilities on top of the entry box. So, once it gets enough information to start matching, I can no longer see what I'm entering. All I see are possible matches. Also, that now-hidden entry box still has the focus, so if I continue (blindly) typing or deleting characters, the list of possibilities changes to match those blind changes. If I can enter enough information to restrict the possible choices to some small number, then that box shrinks enough to once again see the entry box.

Could someone confirm this? I'm using Bazzite with KDE Plasma (which, I think, restricts things to just Wayland). I have no idea if this happens in other Linux distributions or even under X11.
