Hello everyone,
When xev prints the KeymapNotify event (after the user brings the xev window
into focus), it incorrectly displays unsigned char values >= 128. For
instance, 128 is printed as 42949667168.
This can be seen for instance by holding the '6' key (which has the
keycode 15) and then bringing the xev window into focus. Observe the
KeymapNotify event, the second number after "keys: " will be 42949667168.
If you instead hold the '5' key (which has the keycode 14), you'll see
64 there, as expected.
No-one seems to have noticed since at least the last millenium ;-)
I suspect few people look that closely at KeymapNotify events in xev output.
Thanks for the report and patch - I was able to reproduce the bug and verify
your fix, so have merged it into the git repo now:
