Why isn't my 'Shift' key working in shortcuts on Ubuntu 18.10?












2















I'm on Ubuntu 18.10 and keyboard shortcuts containing the Shift key aren't working, "not working" meaning Shift is ignored. They are not working in applications with shortcuts containing Shift either like the Vivaldi browser. So if I do Shift+Ctrl+End I get the action for Ctrl+End. Shift works normally when typing.



I'm on a Thinkpad T460S which otherwise works perfectly.
