What type of input method are you using? I guess it's something more
elaborate than plain dead key support as I can type accentuated French
characters in Gmail currently.

What do you mean of what type of input method?
I added Persian from Language Support in settings. And I can type Persian in any program (i.e. LibreOffice, Chromium (Telegram app fro Chromium too), gedit etc.).

I have the same issue but I can give some hint - when webapps opening with active english layout it type only in english, if with any other language (farsi, ukrainian etc.) - it type only in this layout.

I have the same issue with Chromium and Chrome browsers. Moreover I can't open any file that has a Persian name. It's so weird. The message is:

""
/home/USERNAME/SOME_DIRECTORY/????? ??? does not exist.
""

I believe that it's a "locale" bug. When I changed my country to "Iran" the problem arose and the language was "en_IR" which is absolutely wrong. When I changed it to "System Country (United States of America)" the issue removed and the language is "en_US" which is valid.

So for a quick solution, go to "System Settings" -> "Locale" and set the country to "System Country" and click the "Apply" button. Then log out or restart your system.

This is a locale bug.

No. The fact that the Kubuntu GUI allows you to set invalid language-country combinations has nothing to do with the langpack-locales package.

Besides, the bug reporter has unsubscribed himself. Assuming that possible problems have been fixed.
