Bug Description

I want to simulate the secondary mouse button via the keyboard.
(By clicking the secondary mouse button, then normally a menu appears.)

So, I opened the Accessibility menu and enabled the option "Mouse Keys".
Additionally, I opened the sub-menu of "Click Assist" and enabled the option "Simulated Secondary Click".
You can see these two configuration options enabled - in the attached image "MouseKeys_SecondaryClick.png".

The following Ubuntu Help page explains it:
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y-right-click.html.en

The actual result:
When continuously clicking the number "5" on the numpad of my keyboard, then it looks like the left mouse button is being clicked repeatedly.

The expected result:
Simulating a click of the right mouse button (for the current location of the mouse pointer).

"gnome-control-center"
or
"xkb-data"
