Hi!

The BKSL key (backslash/pipe key) is not working properly if I set xxkbmap to

setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout cz,us -option
"grp:alt_shift_toggle"

The backslash key does not set back to backslash/pipe key when toggled
to "us" layout from "cz" layout. It has the same "cz" function on both
layouts.

Strangely enough, if I set "us" layout first...

setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us,cz -option
"grp:alt_shift_toggle"

...everything works correctly.

Attached patch fixes the problem for me:

Thank you,

With no answer from you, I'll assume it is working correctly now.
Feel free to reopen it if the fix doesn't work for you.
