After systemd re-exec (done by glibc rpm update for example), keyboard is reset to unicode (I think?) mode. Especially, key combos like alt+f2 or ctrl+c are no longer handled by Xorg/Wayland session and behave as the system was on the text console. Specifically:
alt+f2 switches to tty2 (that should require alt+ctrl+f2)
ctrl+c kills the whole Xorg or Wayland session (confirmed on both)
There are likely other key combos that misbehave.
Starting Xorg/Wayland again fixes the issue.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a graphical session active
2. Call sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
3. Press ctrl+c
Actual Results:
GNOME (or any other) session killed
Expected Results:
Session not killed.
The issue is fixed upstream already (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4f44d2c4f76922a4f48dd4473e6abaca40d7e555) and the fix is backported to 251 (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/commit/8c741666fa49a8c87910e2da7832dcf1f414e286). It's just a matter of updating systemd package in Fedora 37.
