Description Jens Stroebel 2007-07-13 10:47:39 UTC
In the KDM login screen, when CAPSLOCK is used, it is impossible to
de-activate it again. (all subsequent keys are caps then).

This behavior also does only happen with KDM, the following KDE session
is functioning as expected (CAPSLOCK can be activated and deactivated
again).

Issue has been bisected to commit

 (Set the detail field for DeviceKeyEvents to the keycode)
which causes it

The released server 1.3.99.0 does no show this behavior anymore.
