Hi all,
I have a strange issue and don't know where to start - I've googled around pretty hard to find any answers but found no solutions.
my setup
Laptop (thinkpad p53) and bluetooth keyboard (Thinkpad bluetooth keyboard KT-1525) connected (main keyboard is working always ok)
GDM + gnome 3.38.1
symptoms :
after boot and connecting bluetooth keyboard everything works fine which means using right alt key (to obtain special characters for polish language) works ok
after first "screen lock" and unlock with password main laptop keyboard still works fine (alt is working like it should) but bluetooth keyboard stops recognizing alt as "alt" key - it rather works like "control" key pushing alt+a selects all texts etc..
i found a temporary solution which is going to gnome setup -> keyboard shortcuts -> clicking alternate character key option and changing the value to some random value and again to correct one "right alt" .
and with this done it works again ok - untill next screen lock
before update to 3.38 it was all ok.
it really ruins my work daily - please if anyone could give me some clues how/where to debug the issue - would be great.

I probably resolved issue myself - i was using "xf86-input-libinput"
after installing xf86-input-evdev everything seems to work fine.
