Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Using Debian stable 13.3 with Gnome
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Tried to write using the keyboard
* What was the outcome of this action?
Caps lock inverted
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Caps lock not inverted
Please see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7508
and
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3340
as well as multiple other places where this bug has been reported
Apparently the issue is fixed upstream, but not backported.
However, backporting is imho extremely important as this breakage requires either rebooting
or manually going through multiple menus and clicking to fix.
Please backport the fix.
Thank you
Emil
