[Bug 1947677] [NEW] Colemak keyboard layout's left-hand backspace is also acting as Caps Lock

[Tialae]

Public bug reported:

I have installed Ubuntu with the default English (US) Qwerty keyboard
layout and I added the English (Australia) Colemak keyboard layout
through the Settings app (as per the screenshot attached). This is for
the in-built laptop keyboard on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Touch.

The bug is that the CapsLock key, which is meant to be remapped to a
Backspace key on the Colemak keyboard layout, acts as both the CapsLock
AND the Backspace, when the Colemak keyboard layout is active. This
means that backspacing a single time deletes a single character AND also
toggles Caps Lock.

The expected behaviour is that the key acts only as Backspace when the
Colemak keyboard layout is active.

The output of  𝚡𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚙 -𝚛𝚘𝚘𝚝 | 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚙 𝚇𝙺𝙱  is

 _𝚇𝙺𝙱_𝚁𝚄𝙻𝙴𝚂_𝙽𝙰𝙼𝙴𝚂(𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶) = "𝚎𝚟𝚍𝚎𝚟", "𝚙𝚌𝟷𝟶𝟻", "𝚞𝚜,𝚞𝚜,𝚞𝚜", ",𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚔,",
""

I hope a fix can be found soon :)
