We don't have an exact criterion for this, but I guess we can consider whether common keyboards are expected to work properly in GNOME as a "basic functionality" or something. Proposing for discussion. Discussed during the 2019-09-30 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to delay the classification of this as a blocker bug and accepted it as an AcceptedFreezeException was made as there's some support for blocking on this but it really doesn't seem to violate any current criterion; we agreed to allow time to propose and discuss a new criterion. In the mean time it's accepted as an FE issue as a prominent bug that can't be fixed fully with an update [0] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2019-09-30/f31-blocker-review.2019-09-30-16.00.txt I think numeric keypad and numlock functionality constitutes basic functionality since like 1981. Plus per the description it's a regression so I'm +1 blocker. Funny enough, I have a full size keyboard with a numeric keypad and no numlock key. By default it doesn't work on GNOME Shell, which I've always found odd, and have to figure out some libinput or other work around I forget at the moment. Therefore I can't test, but could someone with a numlock equipped keyboard check the last comment in the upstream mutter bug here, and report back findings (maybe in both bugs?) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/769#note_6104 numlock handling has been unreliable since forever Here are my findings from the bug you linked, granted I am currently on Ubuntu 19.10 (but I also experienced the bug on Fedora 31 beta). This is just a copy of the text from my comment on the upstream issue that you linked. I can confirm that numlock seems to work in GDM password field and doesn't work as expected in tty3 on Ubuntu 19.10 beta. In tty3, the led was on, but numlock didn't work. I pressed it once and the light remained on. Another press and it went off and numbers didn't work. Pressed it again and the light came on and numbers worked. This is a bit different than what I experienced prior as numlock usually remains out of sync if I log in with Wayland AND the numlock led is on at login (i.e., led on == numbers off, led off == numbers on). I would further note that in my previous testing X sessions do not seem to be affected. I can consistently duplicate the following: boot up my computer with the numlock LED on log into a Wayland session and number keys won't work (led is still on) log out and back into an x session and number keys will work (led is still on) log out and back into Wayland session and number keys won't work (led is still on) It seemed from my testing that under Wayland, the numlock functionality always starts off disabled. This seems to be confirmed when I boot up my computer and make sure the led is off at login. Then the numbers don't work. Hitting the numlock key enables numlock functionality and turns the led on. As stated above, when I login in to a Wayland session with the led on, functionality is still disabled, so the led light ends up being inverted, as a single press still enables the number keys. Here is a link to the relevant bug on launchpad where I have commented and linked to the bug I filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1845031 Discussed during the 2019-10-07 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" was made as per list and meeting discussion of bcotton's proposed criterion, we agree in principle to block on modifier key toggling working well and consistently throughout the system, but not on the light state being correct (as that is difficult to guarantee). Consequently, the 'shell and apps behave differently' portion of this is accepted.
