            Bug ID: 104065
           Summary: linbinput 1.9.3 breaks modifier keys from mouse events
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: f.pinamartins at gmail.com

I have a Roccat Kova+ gaming mouse, which has always worked reliably under Arch
linux.
One of the mouse's hardware functions is that it can send keyboard events on a
button click, such as "Ctrl+w" to close a browser tab.
However, since updating libinput from 1.9.2 to 1.9.3, this functionality has
stopped working. Instead of sending a "Ctrl+w" event, the button click seems to
be sending just a "w" keypress event.
Downgrading lbinput to 1.9.2 restores the correct behaviour.
I have found bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103984 which
seems to be related, where commit db3b6fe5f7f847075ab3af1bc0a32241143d8993 is
pointed out as a possible culprit.
