Public bug reported:
Ubuntu: 22.10
xkb-data: 2.35.1-1
keyboard layout: jp106
I enable a xkb option "ctrl:swapcaps" and often use shift+ctrl modifier
key combinations like shift+ctrl+T.
Expected:
Both pressing [shift]+[capslock] and [capslock]+[shift] should work as
shift+ctrl modifier.
What happened:
[capslock]+[shift] works as expected, but [shift]+[capslock] still works
as shift+capslock.
This behavior is very confusing and annoying to me.
Workaround:
The problem can be avoided by editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl as
follows.
