  Subj: Bug#1117976: console-setup: Keyboard lev  
 XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist 
 From: rimas@kudelis.lt 
  
 Package: console-setup 
 Version: 1.240 
 Severity: important 
  
 Dear Maintainer, 
  
 When freshly installing Debian 13, I have configured it to use 
 Lithuanian keymap at startup. A secondary US keymap was also configured 
 for me by default. 
  
 The Lithuanian keymap is similar to the US keymap, but replaces the 
 characters in the top row with accented Lithuanian letters, moving 
 digits to level 3 (AltGr) and special characters to level 4 
 (AltGr+Shift). 
  
 When I tried using text terminal yesterday, I noticed that Level 4 tends 
 to lock if I don't pay close attention to how I use it. For example, to 
 enter &&, I need to use level 4. So if I enter it by pressing AltGr, 
 then Shift, then pressing and releasing key 7 (twice), then releasing 
 Shift, then releasing AltGr, all seems fine. 
  
 However, if I release AltGr before Shift (as I normally do), Level 4 
 remains in effect, and I couldn't find a way to get out of it other than 
 pressing ^C to cancel the command I was typing and logging out of the 
 affected console by pressing ^D. 
  
 I believe this might be considered an important/major bug, because it 
 impedes console usage in a major way and is probably not configurable 
 separately from the X11/Wayland keymap, which is all done as a part of 
 the normal setup experience. 
  
 Cheers, 
 Rimas
