Created attachment 136938 [details] xev log of shift behavior I remap my capslock to escape and as an alternative I would like pressing both shift keys simultaneously. Unfortunately, this prevents a KeyRelease event to be fired when releasing Shift_L or Shift_R. See the attachment for the xev log. A similar problem has already been reported here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7430
The key releases are reported, though: when you only press left shift, one key press and one key release is reported for keycode 50. You have to use keycodes rather than keysyms for tracking this.
I see. So it behaves as intended? If that's the case this report can be closed and I will issue the bug at the library (Qt) that doesn't handle it correctly. Thanks Daniel
Indeed, it's to be expected, and happens in many more cases than just this, particularly when changing layouts. Thanks for the report.
