Note: The issue looks like it's from tty directly but I don't see who is the maintainer, so I email the closest I can get
Description: In command line, sticky keys reset only when typing ASCII and ISO-8859-1 characters. Tested with the QWERTY Lafayette layout: https://codeberg.org/Alerymin/kbd-qwerty-lafayette
Observed Behaviour: When the layout is loaded in ISO-8859-15, most characters typed don't reset the sticky key, unless it's basic ASCII characters or Unicode When the layout is loaded in ISO-8859-1, the sticky key works fine.
Expected behaviour: Sticky key working in ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15
System used: Arch Linux, kernel 6.16.3-arch1-1
Lo!

Thx for the report. You CCed the regressions list, so please allow me to ask: what's the last version where this worked? And FWIW in case nobody comes around with an idea what might cause this any time soon: could you bisect[1] what's causing the problem? Ciao, Thorsten

Well, I read the reporting page a bit too quickly so I CCed the regressions list while I shouldn't have, sorry. I've never seen it work normally, it's not a regression. On a github issues on kbd-project legionus had a few ideas about it: https://github.com/legionus/kbd/issues/140

Happens, no worries. But in that case a hint to anyone that might reply to this thread: feel free to drop the regressions list and the stable list (it's off-topic there, too)

FWIW, some developers do not follow links in cases like this, as they get a lot of reports every day and not much time at hand (and walking through other tickets often is cumbersome). You chances will thus be higher is you summarize the important bits in a case like this; then people might follow the link if they really care.
Good luck! Ciao, Thorsten
