Hi,
After I ran a whole system update yesterday my keyboard does no longer recognise combinations of alt + shift + any other key.
I am running arch on a Thinkpad T460s and see the same effect when using a USB keyboard.
Combinations like alt + tab or ctrl + shift + <any key> are still working. When I try alt + shift + <anything> I get the same behaviour as I would get for alt + <the same key>, so shift is just ignored in this case.
I am using a German keyboard layout, where the right alt key is called AltGr, which represents alt + shift. Neither AltGr nor manually using alt+shift works.
The problem occurs everywhere, shell, editor, browser...
Below is some information on my locales configuration.
Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Edit:
Looking at the pacman log, I found the following packages that got updated and might cause the problem:
[2017-02-16 11:09] [ALPM] upgraded libinput (1.6.0-1 -> 1.6.1-1)
[2017-02-16 11:09] [ALPM] upgraded xf86-input-libinput (0.23.0-1 -> 0.24.0-1)
Edit No. 2:
Downgrading these two packages did not help. The full pacman log can be found here:
