Bug ID: 514906
Summary: Additional features don't get disabled when using
multiple keyboard layouts
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
Some (special) keyboard layouts are using special features like ”enable
caps-lock when pressing the left-shift and right-shift keys simultaneously“
because they repurposed the normal caps-lock key.
If several keyboard layouts are configured at once where some use the special
features from above and others normally wouldn't, those features are enabled
for all layouts if the layout with the special features is the first one
configured.
Swapping the order of the layouts solves the problem but is not a permanent
option as the first one is the default layout. On the other hand ”just don't
use the two shift-keys to enable caps-lock“ is not an option either as exactly
this feature causes massive problems with the shift-keys in some Java
applications when only enabled (regardless whether it's used or not).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable keyboard layouts configuration.
2. Add Neo 2 as the first keyboard layout and German as second and apply the
settings.
3. Switch keyboard layout to German.
4. Press left-shift and right-shift simultaneously.
OBSERVED RESULT
Caps-lock gets enabled.
EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing should happen. Caps-lock can only get enabled by pressing the caps-lock
key.
