Public bug reported: After upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 with Wayland as default, the arrow keys on my Japanese 108-key USB keyboard scroll in LibreOffice Calc as though scroll lock is toggled on (even though the scroll lock light is not on) instead of moving the cell in focus. (This happens with the US-intl keyboard layout too.) The arrow keys work as expected in other programs though, including LibreOffice Writer.
If I switch to the default US keyboard layout, the arrow keys on the same keyboard work properly: moving the cell in focus. I tried removing grp_led:scroll from XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" in /etc/default/keyboard, but that did not fix it. I also tried uninstalling LibreOffice and removing the config files as explained here, but that didn't fix it either. This was not a problem in Ubuntu 20.10 and the Japanese USB keyboard arrow keys work correctly in LibreCalc on Windows, so the issue appears to be specific to Ubuntu 21.04, not LibreOffice, nor this keyboard. As a workaround, if I start the session with Xorg instead, the arrow keys work as expected with any keyboard layout. Therefore, this bug appears to be related to Wayland. I was encouraged to file this bug report for gnome-shell in the comments on this AskUbuntu post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1356052/why-do- japanese-keyboard-arrow-keys-scroll-in-libreoffice-calc-but-move-cell- wit/1356059?noredirect=1#comment2321519_1356059 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.38.4-1ubuntu3~21.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-25.27-generic 5.11.22 Uname: Linux 5.11.0-25-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu65.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Aug 7 12:18:23 2021 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-02-05 (548 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.4-1ubuntu2 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) modified.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2021-07-06T20:58:08.463515 ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug hirsute wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939186 Title: Wayland causes arrow key scroll lock behavior when using Japanese or US-intl keyboard layouts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1939186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
