Ok, then a test case would look something like this: Test Case - Install ibus from backports. Log out and log back in. Open a terminal and install basic French support: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales Select fr_FR.UTF-8 when prompted. Open the Settings app. In the sidebar, click Keyboard Click +, choose French (France), then choose the French (AZERTY) keyboard Close the Settings app In the top right of the screen, click en and switch the keyboard layout to French (AZERTY) In the text editor, type é (this is the number 2 key on a US English keyboard). Now, press the Caps Lock key to enable Caps Lock. Press the same key. You should get É Fix We just need to cherry-pick 6fe1b3145f8 for mutter. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha

By restoring the affected packages to the official Debian 12 version, everything works perfectly again. I'll try to report it to the backports team. Maybe this is the problem for Trixie/Sid too. Many thanks, Domenico Cufalo P. S.: sorry for resending, but I forgot to reply to all.

Perhaps the same patch from Mutter 45 would apply to Mutter 43. If so, this bug could be fixed for Debian 12. It's a bit easier if the problem can be reproduced on a developer's computer though.

Or, at least, to identify the cause? In over twenty years, something like this had never happened to me. It's really annoying not being able to write those characters: AEIOU àèéìòù (all with active caps-lock). Many thanks in advance, Domenico

I believe the Debian Testing issue is fixed with mutter 45.1, but we are stuck waiting for ftpmaster review before we can get that to Debian Testing. It's a bit surprising that the upstream issue I found was only reported after GNOME 45 and not GNOME 44 (or GNOME 43). https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/6fe1b3145 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3058 Thank you, Jeremy Bícha

Package: gnome Version: 1:43+1 Followup-For: Bug #1054214 Dear Maintainer, I'm sorry, but I would add that just recently I realized that the same problem is also present on Bookworm. I can write capital accented letters in Emacs or Telegram, but NOT in Libreoffice, not in Evolution, not in reportbug (where I write from), not in Gnome Text Editor, not in Geany etc. I hadn't noticed before when this problem started on Bookworm maybe because I usually use Emacs.

Bug#1054214: gnome: caps-lock for upper case accented letters does not work anymore
Package: gnome
Version: 1:44+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in the Italian keyboard, we have some keys that only display lowercase
letters. As
an example, the key on the right of the "P" key has four symbols: è é { [.
In order to have the "è" character, I just press the key; in order to have
the "é" I press shift+key; in order to have "[" I press altgr+key; in order
to have "{" I press altgr+shift+key.
For the uppercase letter "È" I used to press the capslock+key. In order to
have the uppercase "É" I used to press the capslock+shift+key.
I just updated from debian 12 stable (bookworm) to testing (trixie) and now I
cannot type any more these keys in UPPERCASE: even using the capslock, the
displayed letter is lowercase.
On the Linux console, i.e., without the gnome graphical desktop running, the
behaviour is unchanged, so everything work as before.
Bye,
Giuseppe
