Bug Description
It's hard to really summarize the issue here. If you use the Neo2 layout somewhere, the keymap becomes garbled in a very specific way (see below). I am not really sure if it affects other keyboard layouts or what happens internally. I have selected gnome-control-
Reproduction steps (first issue):
1. Open "Region & Language Settings" in gnome-control-
2. In "Input Sources" use "German (no dead keys)" in the FIRST place and "German (Neo 2)" in the second place (order matters!)
3. Open your favorite text editor
4. Use Super+Alt+Backspace to change to the Neo2 layout
5. Press and hold the Mod4 key (right of Left Shift) and 3.
6. You get a 3, expected would be №.
Reproduction steps (second issue):
1. Go back to the "Region & Language Settings" and now use "German (Neo 2)" in the FIRST place and "German (no dead keys)" in the SECOND place
2. Open Chromium and open any web page (it does not work with any other application)
3. Use Super+Alt+Backspace to change to "German (no dead keys)" layout
4. Press Ctrl+F
5. Instead of the In-Page-Search opening, you go to the search bar, which means that the input is interpreted as Ctrl+E instead of Ctrl+F. If you press Ctrl+I (which is Ctrl+F on Neo2), the search bar opens, which means that even though Neo2 is selected, the old keymap is still somehow active.
