Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal

When remapping the "\|" key to the "Backspace" key and vice versa on a standard US 104 keyboard using:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = backslash bar'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 51 = BackSpace'

Pressing "backspace" generates "\" when pressed as expected.
Pressing "Shift+backspace" does not generate "|", as expected.  Pressing
"Shift+<|\>" also does not generate "|".  This behavior has been
reported to function as expected to me since at lease XFree 3.3.x 
but not >=4.3

Output of xev after remaping, upon pressing "backspace":

KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 4265320, (674,173), root:(677,243),
state 0x0, keycode 22 (keysym 0x5c, backslash), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "\"


Output of xev after remaping, upon pressing "Shift+Backspace":

KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 4298603, (795,168), root:(798,238),
state 0x1, keycode 22 (keysym 0x5c, backslash), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "\"


This appears to be distro & kernel independant, leading me to beleive
it's a problem in the upstream code. 

A report under Red Hat 9:

Also the bug is present in NetBSD, here's the build info:

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "wontfix" for some
years, without answer. If you have new reasons to point out this
problem, please feel free to re-open it.

Also, 10 years later, the setups are very different...
