Title:
Wayland causes arrow key scroll lock behavior when using Japanese or
US-intl keyboard layouts
Status in Mutter:
New
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 with Wayland as default, the arrow
keys on my Japanese 108-key USB keyboard scroll in LibreOffice Calc as
though scroll lock is toggled on (even though the scroll lock light is
not on) instead of moving the cell in focus. (This happens with the
US-intl keyboard layout too.) The arrow keys work as expected in other
programs though, including LibreOffice Writer.
If I switch to the default US keyboard layout, the arrow keys on the
same keyboard work properly: moving the cell in focus.
I tried removing grp_led:scroll from
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" in
/etc/default/keyboard, but that did not fix it.
I also tried uninstalling LibreOffice and removing the config files as
explained here, but that didn't fix it either.
This was not a problem in Ubuntu 20.10 and the Japanese USB keyboard
arrow keys work correctly in LibreCalc on Windows, so the issue
appears to be specific to Ubuntu 21.04, not LibreOffice, nor this
keyboard.
As a workaround, if I start the session with Xorg instead, the arrow
keys work as expected with any keyboard layout. Therefore, this bug
appears to be related to Wayland.
I was encouraged to file this bug report for gnome-shell in the
comments on this AskUbuntu post:
