Bug#1126010: A plea to backport the fix to this capslock issue

[Emil Fihlman]

Hi

Regarding https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1126010

I was given feedback on the bug at #debian at OFTC and was suggested to link
the fixing commit.

Please see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4546 for
the fix

You can of course also see the discussion mentioned before at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7508
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3340

Given the support timelines for Trixie

Version Code Name Release Date End of Life (EOL) End of LTS End of ELTS
Status
13 Trixie 2025-08-09 2028-08-09 2030-06-30 2035-06-30 Current stable release

I urge the maintainers and release team to please backport the fix.

The issue is constant and happens all the time on my laptop and doesn't
require any configuration changes: merely installing a completely stock
Debian with Gnome results in the bug appearing basically immediately, by
just for example shutting the laptop lid and putting it to my backpack and
then taking it out.

It sucks that using my laptop with Debian requires starting with fixing key
inversion.

So please, please backport the fix.

Thank you,

Emil
