[bug] Inverted caps lock indicator

[lonix1]

Sometimes when my laptop wakes from sleep, the caps lock indicator is inverted: it's off when caps is on, and on when caps is off.

Started after upgrading to ubuntu 24.04 (gnome 46.0).

I found two workarounds:

• reboot
• sometimes works: suspend again, then press capslock to wake
• (since it uses wayland, I can't use the Alt-F2 r trick)

Any ideas?

Try to disable-enable the extension. Otherwise it needs a fix that syncs it's state with the actual state of the keyboard when laptop resumes from suspend. I hope that there's a signal can be utilized.

Thanks.

Tried that but unfortunately it doesn't help. Which is strange as one would expect it to read the current state of the keyboard.

Yes that would be the ideal solution, assuming it's even possible.

If that's the case then the problem is in Clutter.get_default_backend().get_default_seat().get_keymap().get_caps_lock_state()
because the extension is getting it's state by calling this function when is enabled.

Currently it's working, so I can only test the next time it breaks. I'll have to remember to update this thread with any observations I make.
