SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Go to the keyboard section
3. go to the Advanced tab

OBSERVED RESULT
There are two sections named "Caps Lock Behaviour"

EXPECTED RESULT
These sections should be merged. If there is a reason why they are separated, then they should have different names, IMO.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-04-19 16:33:30 UTC 
I only see one in mine on Fedora 35. Can you attach a screenshot that shows the issue? I wonder if there is a Manjaro-specific packaging change that added an addition section via added or overridden XKB rules or something.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-04-19 20:06:35 UTC 
Strange indeed.

We are just consuming data that comes from elsewhere though, so I strongly suspect that this is a packaging problem. Still, maybe we should de-duplicate or merge the sections.

Do they have different items in them, or are they identical?

Different items, but one of the options only has one setting. Attachment posted.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2022-04-19 21:10:20 UTC 
Thanks. I strongly suspect that the duplicate item comes from a second XKB config somewhere but I don't understand enough about the system to know where it is. I guess we should handle this by merging any category names that are identical.

FWIW, I see the same thing on Debian testing (bookworm).
