Well, I read the reporting page a bit too quickly so I CCed the regressions list while I shouldn't have, sorry. I've never seen it work normally, it's not a regression.
Happens, no worries. But in that case a hint to anyone that might reply to this thread: feel free to drop the regressions list and the stable list (it's off-topic there, too)

On a github issues on kbd- project legionus had a few ideas about it: https://github.com/ legionus/kbd/issues/140
FWIW, some developers do not follow links in cases like this, as they get a lot of reports every day and not much time at hand (and walking through other tickets often is cumbersome). You chances will thus be higher is you summarize the important bits in a case like this; then people might follow the link if they really care.
Good luck! Ciao, Thorsten
From the github issue. The problem may come from `drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c` Legionus says maybe it misses `slockstate = 0` around line 1492 before the return. To test it I have a keyboard layout using that: https://codeberg.org/Alerymin/kbd-qwerty-lafayette Just make sure you change the CtrlL to SCtrlL in the fr-lafayette.map so it registers a Sticky key (I had to keep a working version). Load it with `loadkeys fr-lafayette.map`.
