During a big hacker event in the Netherlands this summer (MCH) the logistics
team used custom barcodes to keep track of inventory. These custom barcodes
contain a # symbol.
In other barcodes, @ symbols. Quite possibly anything with shifted characters;
I vaguely recall a mixed case (ascii) string where the uppercasing was on the
wrong letter.
Juerd, we did not discuss how you were running Wayland (which compositor),
I guess you were using GNOME3 when you hit this ?
I'm not sure, as I only encountered the bug as an end user and suggested
changing to X to work around it (which worked). I've added Peter Hazenberg to
the CC list; he installed and maintained the computers, and is familiar with
the bug. Peter, can you confirm that we were using GNOME 3 in both Wayland and
X?

This was a Zebra DS4308, which is a very popular model (now EOL, but still widely available). The
bug is triggered by at least the SR ("Standard Range") and HC ("Healthcare")
models, but I suspect the entire series will have the same USB keyboard emulation.
