UPDATE: For me the problem occurs only if "Pointer Location" on the "Keyboard & Mouse" page of the gnome-tweaks utility is set. I have turned it off now and the left Ctrl key now works with all keyboard layouts again.
If you happen to not find the mouse pointer sometimes, simply make it bigger, with "Cursor Size" under "Universal Access" in the GNOME Control Center. Daniel, thanks for your investigations and the link to the issue report on GNOME's GitLab, where I have found the hint with the "Pointer Location". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872230 Title: With any US international layout left Ctrl key does not work Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am using 20.04 Focal. I am using a US international keyboard layout with dead keys, so that I can enter text in many different languages. After I had rebooted my system today and so loaded the newest GNOME Shell, the left Ctrl key stopped working in the terminal windows and also in emacs, while the right Ctrl still works. To get the left Ctrl working again I have to switch to a plain US English keyboard layout, without dead keys. I have also tried the different alternatives of US International keyboard layouts, each of them seems to work as intended but the left Ctrl key is not working. Only with plain US English layout I get the left Ctrl working.
