Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.34.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


Since the last upgrade from gnome-shell 3.30 to 3.34, the gnome-shell does not take the gsettings org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state into account and always start with org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state set to false.

I set "org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard remember-numlock-state true" on my system. to keep the numlock-state to the same value reboot after reboot, session after session.

So, when GDM starts, it remembers the last numlock-state.

With gnome-shell 3.30, it was the same.

Now, with gnome-shell 3.34, it always start with numlock-state set to false leading to strange behaviors.

For example, if I leave the session with numlock on, when I re-open a new session, gsettings show this:
$ gsettings list-recursively | grep keyboard.*numlock
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard remember-numlock-state true
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state true

and my numlock key on my keyboard is set to on too (with the led swtiched to on) but when I type on the numpad, I do not get numbers.

I have to type on numlock key, swithing the led off to get my numpad working as it was on.

For example, now, that's my setting:
$ gsettings list-recursively | grep keyboard.*numlock
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard remember-numlock-state true
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard numlock-state false

and the numpad with the led off gives numbers.


I hope I am clear in my explanations.

Regards,

Jean-Marc
