Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.12-1
Severity: normal
Pardon for filing the bug under presumably wrong package, it does not
seem that the problem is somewhere in /usr/share/X11/xkb/, but I could
not find package that would fit better, so I hope that dear maintainers
of xkb-data know where this belongs to.
The problem:
Sticky modifiers (latches) are not released (cleared) by pressing a key
that switches a keyboard layout.
Minimal steps to reproduce:
$ setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option grp:shift_caps_switch
$ xkbset sticky
Press Shift, release Shift, press Caps, release Caps.
Actual result:
Layout is successfully switched, but Shift is still pressed.
Expected result:
Layout is switched, Shift modifier is cleared. I. e. I expect that
layout switching keys (ISO_*_Group) should treat sticky modifiers as any
other key on keyboard do.
Of course the same applies to any hotkey that involve modifiers:
shift_caps_toggle, alt_shift_toggle, ctrl_shift_toggle, etc.
