In other barcodes, @ symbols. Quite possibly anything with shifted characters; I vaguely recall a mixed case (ascii) string where the uppercasing was on the wrong letter.

I'm not sure, as I only encountered the bug as an end user and suggested changing to X to work around it (which worked). I've added Peter Hazenberg to the CC list; he installed and maintained the computers, and is familiar with the bug. Peter, can you confirm that we were using GNOME 3 in both Wayland and X?

This was a Zebra DS4308, which is a very popular model (now EOL, but still widely available). The bug is triggered by at least the SR ("Standard Range") and HC ("Healthcare") models, but I suspect the entire series will have the same USB keyboard emulation.
