AW: Why does X11 generate an extra SHIFT when I press Shift+KP_1 ?

[Walter Harms]

When i try this i get the following list of events:

KeyPress Shift_L
KeyPress KP_End (on my kbd this is kp_1)
KeyRelease  KP_End
KeyRelease Shift_L

did you check your results without filter ?

Betreff: Why does X11 generate an extra SHIFT when I press Shift+KP_1 ?

When I press

Shift+KP_1 why am I getting an extra Shift in my xev output ?


50  Shift_L
87  KP_1
50  Shift_L

I am running xev in the following format:

xev | awk -F'[ )]+' '/^KeyPress/ { a[NR+2] } NR in a { printf "%-3s %s\n", $5, $8 }'

This is messing with my i3 configs. Where is the extra Shift coming from ? I have disabled
autorepeat and I still get the same output. (xset r off)

Keyboard Layout: English US Default
OS: Manjaro i3wm

Why is this happening?
