My (multi layer) xkb layout broken on current master about labwc

[datMaffin]

This was a bug in my keyboard config.

Turns out I used the wrong xbk types: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/blob/master/types/level5?ref_type=heads

I had to switch to types that are not influenced by the num-lock.
So now I am using "EIGHT_LEVEL", "EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC", "EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC".
And I no longer need to disable the num-lock thingy.

My layout config is now:

Was able to reproduce this with 6.6

In 6.5, this issue did not yet exist.

Both were compiled with the same wlroots (the one provided by my Linux distribution).

The commit breaking my multi layer keyboard turned out to be

• ecad765
• checking out the previous commit in the history fixes it.

@jlindgren90 seems to have been the main author of ecad765 . Can you by chance comment on this?

A (temporary) workaround that indeed works is to disable the numlock in the rc.xml:

<keyboard>
    ....
    <numlock>off</numlock>
</keyboard>

I have no idea why Num Lock would affect your keyboard layout. Since it does, you can turn it off, as you mentioned.
