'bindsym --release' emmits Escape + the binded key

example config: bindsym --release Mod4+Mod1+q exec sleep 1 && echo random command When run in a shell, or vim for a better example, the Escape and q keys seem to get pressed. i3 forwards no keyboard output when using any keybindings

I have the same issue after updating XWayland to 22.1.4. 22.1.3 works fine.

I am not using xwayland, for me its a problem in every app. Especially neovim, where using KP_Insert turns me into replace mode, although it was to be just a keyboard shortcut for sway.

This shouldn't be that hard to fix, the key combo shouldn't be passed through when pressed just as a normal combo.

I wanted to use the Space key as a left mouse key enabling the drap & drop by the sway config with ydotool. However, it seems that the bindsym --release doesn't sometimes react.

mode "media" {
    # Left down (drag and drop start)
    bindsym Space exec "sudo ydotool click 0x40"
    # Left up (drag and drop end)
    bindsym --release Space exec "sudo ydotool click 0x80"
    ...
}
