Control-key combinations additionally send the normal letter on Wayland

As of snapshot 25w43a, Minecraft now runs on Wayland natively instead of XWayland on Linux. This comes with unfortunate side effects.

While the control key is held, typing letters is supposed to only have the special effects (e.g. ctrl-c to copy, ctrl-a to select all). But currently, the special effect happens, and the normal letter is typed. So ctrl-a selects all, then immediately replaces everything with a single letter A.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Make sure you are using Wayland and not X11

  2. Launch snapshot 25w43a

  3. Open chat

  4. Type something

  5. Press CTRL-A

Expected result
All text should be selected

Actual result
Everything is replaced with the letter A

Environment

Arch Linux 6.17.4-arch2-1
KDE Plasma 6.4.5
Wayland

Can confirm that this also happens on Fedora 42 running Gnome 48.
