Bug Description
The problem is that a stray "B" character is being printed to the terminal screen after switching work spaces with the Ctrl+Alt+{Up/Down arrows}.
On the first workspace, I have a few applications running (Firefox is focused)
On the second workspace I have gnome terminal 3.35.91 running in full screen (F11, so no window boarder) running.
I Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow to switch to the first workspace and do some things in FF and then Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow to switch back to the second workspace and now see a "B" on the command line.
This happens over and over.. I see the capital B on the commandline when I switch to this workspace where the terminal is fullscreened.
Some things to note about when this happens:
* This only happens with wayland
* It happens fairly often but not 100% of the time
* The key character created is always a "B"
* I've only seen this key character be created on gnome-terminal
* There are no journalctl logs generated when this occurs
* I have to release the Ctrl+Alt+Up and then do Ctrl+Alt+Down to see the B. (If I keep Ctrl+Alt pressed and then do Up and Down, the B is not generated)
* It seems more likely to happen if the first workspace is switched to, spend some time there just clicking things or typing or whatever, and then go back to the second workspace
* It only happens if gnome-terminal is full screen'd with F11
