Hi Markus,
Thank you for reporting this to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have any
foreign MacBooks to test, so I had no way of knowing if any of their
keyboards had the quirk. But based on your report, I think it's safe
to say that the quirk is present on the "Wellspring 5" and later
models. I will send a patch to fix them up.
Do you have any other MacBooks that you could test (especially super old ones)?
