Hello some of the implementers of Neo,
Looking at the 8-level types in xkeyboard-config, I noticed that
the behavior of Lock depends on whether just Lock is engaged, or
whether it is engaged together with the Level5-lock and this latter
lock is temporarily cancelled by holding down a level5 key ("Mod4").
To see what I mean, activate the Neo layout, engage CapsLock by
pressing both Shifts, then hold down a "Mod3" key and type the
first five keys in the QWERTY row: … _ [ ] ^
Now lock Ebene 4 (with Shift+Caps+Tab, for example), hold down both
a "Mod3" and "Mod4" key and type the same keys again: ξ λ χ ω
(The second key produces nothing now.)
I would have expected the same characters as the first time, because
the lock for Ebene 4 is effectively cancelled by holding "Mod4".
The mistake is in the last lines of the definition for the type
"EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC_WITH_LEVEL5_LOCK", where it says:
map[Lock+NumLock+LevelFive+LevelThree] = Level4;
map[Lock+NumLock+LevelFive+LevelThree+Shift] = Level3;
whereas earlier it says:
map[Lock+LevelThree] = Level3;
map[Lock+LevelThree+Shift] = Level4;
If you have time, please comment on the relevant issue on Fdo's Gitlab:

Regards,
Benno
