This is a problem regardless whether Pointer location is on or off. The only difference is that when pointer location is on, you can't see the LEFT-CTRL key light up it corresponding element on the keyboard map, i.e. Language & Region > Input Sources and then click on the eyeball button for the keyboard in use.
The LEFT-CTRL key is effectively dead. How do we revitalise it since we need it for convenient command shortcuts. -- 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: The left Ctrl key does not work when using pointer location Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged 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.
