Bug ID: 408227
Summary: Setting Caps Lock as Compose doesn't disable Caps Lock
functionality
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: da...@davidgow.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When running KDE as a Wayland session, setting "Position of Compose key" to
"Caps Lock" in kcm_keyboard causes the Caps Lock key to work as _both_ Compose
and Caps Lock — pressing it toggles the Caps Lock LED and inverts the case of
characters, but also activates the "dead key" nature of Compose.
Additionally, disabling Caps Lock specifically with "Caps Lock behaviour"→"Caps
Lock is disabled" doesn't seem to work. Setting "Caps Lock is also a Ctrl"
seems to successfully make Caps Lock a Ctrl (in addition to Compose), but this
is still suboptimal.
These all work as expected under X11.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run a Plasma Wayland session.
2. Set "Position of Compose Key" to "Caps Lock" in kcm_keyboard's "Advanced"
tab.
3. Press Caps Lock: the LED will toggle, and Caps Lock mode will activate.
OBSERVED RESULT
Caps Lock is enabled in addition to the Compose key functioning.
Caps Lock cannot be disabled with the "Caps Lock behaviour"→"Caps Lock is
disabled" setting.
EXPECTED RESULT
Setting "Position of Compose Key" to "Caps Lock" disables Caps Lock.
Caps Lock can be disabled with the "Caps Lock is disabled" setting.
