SUMMARY

The component does not display the correct information:
- when selecting only "caps lock", it indicates nothing.
- when selecting only "num lock", it also indicates when caps lock is activated although this should only indicate num lock.
- when selecting only "capslock" and "num lock", it is correct.

I'm not able to readily reproduce this on Plasma 6.3.2 or built from git-master, hopefully someone else can

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-02-28 17:30:49 UTC

I also can't reproduce this.

Do you by any chance have your caps lock key re-bound to do something else?

Comment 3 pafrape 2025-03-02 20:36:49 UTC

The problem is only when selecting only "num lock" :
- it indicates num lock when num lock is activated and caps lock is inactivated ; It is normal.
- it indicates nothing when num lock is activated and caps lock is activated, whereas it should indicates num lock.

Unfortunately I don't have a keyboard with a Num Lock key to test this with. I'll leave it open so someone else with appropriate hardware can have a go.

I tried on Fedora, and the problem is exactly the same.
