DetailsSummery:
After 3.36 upgrade, the right Mod4 key has become an additional Mod3 key on the keyboard Affected version: I'm using 5.6.6-arch1-1 with gnome shell 3.36.1, the issue appears in Xorg and Wayland. It is only present in GNOME, selecting a different desktop environment (UKUI) it is not present. Bug summary: After the upgrade to 3.36 on my German neo 2 keyboard layout (https://www.neo-layout.org/) the right Mod4 key has become an additional Mod3 key. Otherwise the keyboard layout is the same, so I have a Mod 3 and Mod 4 key on my left hand side, but two M3 and no M4 keys on my right. Steps to reproduce: - in gnome settings select the German neo 2 keyboard layout - press the right Mod4 key (on qwertz keyboards AltGr) and for example the qwertz key Y. What happened: A hashtag appears "#", expected for a pressing Mod3 and the Y key What did you expect to happen: The equivalent to pressing the <ESC> key First I thought it is an upstream gnome bug, so I opened an issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2425 But today I checked with Ubuntu 20.04 and gnome-shell 3.36.1: the keyboard layout is unchanged and works as expected. So I think the problem is with the arch package, it was already present with gnome-shell 3.36.0, see the gnome issue. |
