Bug#955192: cinnamon: Ctrl and capslock switch does not persist through reboots.
Package: cinnamon
Version: 4.4.8-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since... I THINK 3 weeks ago at max, definitely since upgrading from
Buster, Cinnamon's option to swap ctrl and capslock has to be reset
after every reboot. Process to do this:
* Run "cinnamon-settings keyboard"
* Go to "Layouts" tab
* Push "Options" in the lower right corner
* Open the "Ctrl position" drop-down
* Check "Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock"
This works fine, until the next reboot. After that reboot, the "Swap
Ctrl and Caps Lock" check-box is still checked, but the keys aren't
actually swapped until I un-check and re-check it. It's happened on
several computers by now, so, let me know if there's anything I can do
to help.
Regards,
Simon
