Keyboard Layout Switching Causing System Freeze in GNOME 46

Hello everyone,

I’ve noticed an issue with the latest GNOME version (46) regarding keyboard layout switching that wasn’t present in version 45. Whenever I switch the keyboard layout, the system freezes for about 1 or 2 seconds before becoming responsive again.

I’ve attached the logs below for reference:

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions for troubleshooting or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The problem is with the ScrollLock key on the layout file.

In my case, it is found at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/br.

Comment the line: modifier_map Mod3 { Scroll_Lock };

No more delays!
