The title pretty much explains it. I use Caps Lock to change layouts, setting it with

awful.util.spawn_with_shell("setxkbmap -layout 'us, ru' -option 'grp:caps_toggle'")

in awesome's rc.lua, if that has anything to do with the issue. When Caps is on, neither tag tabs nor window tabs get selected when I click on them. Any ideas why is it this way?

UPDATE 2: Output of xev on clicks with Caps on and off (the only difference is "state")

  • Which distro are you using and what are the versions of the dependencies of awesome? First thing would be to try updating the system. I rememeber having something similar a while ago. – aignas Dec 25 '12 at 17:50
  • Ubuntu 12.10, had the same issue on Ubuntu 10.04 (12.04 is not upgraded, but freshly installed). Added the list of dependencies versions to the post. The system is regularly updated. – gvlasov Dec 28 '12 at 02:28
  • Weird. I can't reproduce with awesome 3.4.9-1, Ubuntu 11.04. Look for differences in mouse click events with caps on vs off with `xev`? See if `xkeycaps` shows anything weird? What if you reverse the order of `'us, ru'`, does awesome then not work with caps-lock off? What if you remove the call to `setxkbmap` entirely? – Phil Frost Jan 05 '13 at 00:32
