Opening the keyboard layout for an input source on Wayland opens the windows in XWayland. On a high resolution display with fractional scaling enabled, the window's content is blurry making it hard to discern certain characters in the layout.

Expected: Keyboard layout to open in a native Wayland window, with characters crisp and legible

This issue appears to now be irrelevant due to gnome control center using tecla to display layouts on Mantic's Gnome 45. Closing
