Bug#1118257: marked as done (libmutter-16-0: Caps lock behaviour is sometimes reversed and inconsistent after resume)

[Stuart Blake Tener]

  Debian and GNOME users, developers, Simon, et alia:

Know All Men by These Presents that I have as well encountered and  
taken notice of this bug notwithstanding my having a Debian Trixie  
installation instantiating the latest updates. In my observation the  
dysfunction occurs on each occasion I am attempting to begin using my  
laptop succeeding the intercession of time since the screen has locked  
in owing to inactivity. Additionally, there have been some several  
other occasions wherein I noticed the CAPS LOCK function was set as  
well.

I would also underscore that I am running Debian Trixie on an older  
laptop (a General Dynamics GD8200). I make this distinction as I set  
forth a symptom not yet mentioned here at all, that the "CAPS LOCK  
LED" on my laptop (an icon of a padlock with a capital A inside of the  
bottom portion of the padlock icon) is lit when the CAPS LOCK Is  
unlocked (in lower case mode) and un-lit when the CAPS LOCK is  
activated (upper case mode). This is the reverse of how this LED was  
functioning historically and I thought that observation might be  
useful for anyone working on this issue to be aware of.

The GNOME version I seem to have resultant to the application of all  
updates is 48.4 per the "gnome-shell --version" command. Whilst this  
is more of an irritating bug (vice a work-flow breaking bug), and as  
it appears from other comments to be an upstream bug (within GNOME), I  
am wondering if the actual fix is not going to become apparent within  
Debian Trixie until such time as Debian Trixie is inclusive of a  
version of GNOME exceeding version 48.6, is that correct?

I pray that the Debian development team and ostensibly those working  
on GNOME development will see my findings as useful in pursuance of  
quashing this bug.

Thank you so very much for your attention to the matters at hand  
within the instant case.

 
  Very Respectfully,
