Public bug reported:
Using Tweaks (v3.34.0), I'd set Caps Lock behavior to function as an
additional Ctrl key. When using VMWare player, after allowing the guest
VM to capture key inputs, then release the keys back to the host machine
(Ubuntu 20.04), the normal Ctrl keys, left & right but NOT the Caps Ctrl
key, as well as the Num Lock key no longer work, i.e. pressing them has
no effect (e.g. Ctrl-c does not terminate a running process in the
terminal, and would only show "c" as being inputted). Other modifiers,
such as Alt, Tab and Super keys function normally.
Going into the Tweaks tool, then toggling the behavior between "Caps
Lock is also Ctrl" and "Disabled" returns functionality to the normal
Ctrl keys. However this workaround is inconvenient to do if it is
required after every interaction with a guest VM.
