Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Press the Super key and the L key
2. Release both of these keys as soon as possible (duration between step 1 and 2 has to be under 250ms)
Current Result:
The dash shows up.
Expected Result:
Nothing happens.
Note: if you choose a key that is supposed to show a particular lens, for example the A key, then it's even worse: the dash shows up and immediately disappears

Xlib and Xkb do not provide any API that would allow us to solve the issue but XInput seems to.
$ xinput test DEVICE_ID
where DEVICE_ID is your keyboard's id allows one to monitor any keypress without the need for grabs
