I just tried to run screenkey (from the python-screenkey package) 
on core-updates-frozen (commit 
b41d3fa9834c2932b654111401567058d61aa6e1).  This is what happens:

Just tested, still the case 3 years later.  Seems to be a bug upstream:
https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/issues/166.

Was your testing on Wayland or X11?

In 2021 it was very likely X11, but I don't even remember 
reporting this issue.
