Hello.
Since one of the recent fc28 updates (I'd say a month or two back, but
I can't be sure), I've noticed this issue, and it's getting rather
annoying.
I am using KDE, and I have a bunch of KWin shortcuts, for example,
Meta+F, that bring windows to front/back. I also have one of those
keyboards that replays macros (K55 if one's curious), so I have a key
that plays Meta+F back as a macro. It was working fine until at some
point it started, every now and again, to translate that macro to 'f',
rather than front/back event.
I thought it was my keyboard to blame, but I've finally got to test
this in xev, and it looks like the commands are being sent out
correctly, but the server sends 'f' event rather then whatever the
focus events that should be generated. I can't reproduce this by just
manually doing Win+F, but using a macro I can reproduce this rather
easily. It's required to press something other key, before firing the
macro. For example, a quick succession of "kkk<Macro>".
Below is the output from xev that I believe shows that the keyboard is
sending the events correctly. Any clue where to dig this further, or
what is responsible for remapping the key combinations to operations?
