Public bug reported:
Starting from Ubuntu 20.4 (maybe a bit before, I used 18.4 and all is fine
there) glfw-based applications started to mostly ignore keyboard input if
application started with non-English layout. And switching keyboard layout back
to En after app is started doesn't work. Namely, Ru keyboard layout behaves so,
according to https://github.com/glfw/glfw/pull/1598 also Arabic.
This was fixed in commit d9faf8d4154651816a0a56dea25b9613c9f55180 (X11: Fix
function keys mapped to GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN) but it is not in latest 3.3.2
release. And according to glfw release plan, the new release won't be prepared
for months.
Is it possible to apply this bugfix patch in the current "libglfw3/focal,now
3.3.2-1" package? Because the problem is very annoying (need to restart the
affected application every single time.
