Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.0~cvs.20070916-1
Severity: important
If the xkb option ctrl(swapcaps) is set to make CapsLock an additional
Ctrl, CapsLock-Alt_L combination does not generate KeyPress event for
Alt_L when pressing Alt_L key. Instead it is generated when *releasing*
the Alt_L key. There is no problem when pressing CapsLock-Alt_R or
Ctrl_L-Alt_L.
Here is my xkb settings:
athlon:~% setxkbmap -v
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us+ctrl(swapcaps)
geometry: pc(pc104)
To reproduce the problem, first do 'setxkbmap -v -option ctrl(swapcaps)'.
Then press CapsLock, and press Alt_L. No event is generated when
pressing Alt_L. If you release Alt_L, then both KeyPress and KeyRelease
events for Alt_L are generated at the *same* time. See the following
xev output:
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,

Note that the timestamps for KeyPress and KeyRelease events are the
same.
