Bug#1118257: libmutter-16-0: Caps lock behaviour is sometimes reversed and inconsistent after resume

[Clément Hermann]

Package: libmutter-16-0
Version: 48.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

Sometimes, after unlocking session or resume, Caps lock behaviour is
reversed (caps on when light is off, and vice-versa). Worse, it can be
inconsistent with applications, e.g inverted in the terminal, but
correct in pinentry. Or the opposite.

It seems like it's a known bug upstream, which is fixed via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4546/diffs?commit_id=7d0d128e005fb737df7a8eea5e472d6c229898e1

Please consider updating to 48.6 in forky/sid which would contain the
fix, and maybe cherry-pick this fix for 48.4 in trixie since I also
encountered it there. And it's really annoying (especially when using
Compose key for accents, since in thias case the accented keys like É
have the opposite behaviour: I'm having the issue now, caps lock is off,
and as you can see the é above is uppercase, and I had to use shift to
get the lowercase).

Thanks!
