Description Jussi Pakkanen 2019-02-13 19:50:13 UTC 
How to reproduce (Kubuntu 18/10):

1. map window switching to super-tab
2. Select "make caps lock an additional super" in keyboard settings
3. open three different applications on the same virtual desktop (I used Konsole, Emacs and Okular)
4. Try to switch between windows using super-tab

When using the actual super key, kwin toggles between the first two open windows. It is not possible to get the third windows to be the active one. Switching between windows with capslock-tab works correctly.

Did you restart KWin after modifying the layout?
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2019-02-14 06:10:56 UTC 
The problem is most likely in tabbox.cpp function areKeySymXsDepressed which only checks the first key code for a keysym. The assumption of the code is that a modifier is only mapped to one keycode.
