            Bug ID: 260602
           Summary: Ctrl+<key> no longer sends keydown events
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Something is currently very broken in the keyboard handling in Epiphany. It fails to send keydown events when Ctrl is pressed. This has a massive impact on applications that are keyboard focused, such as remote desktop tools (issue first seen in VMware).

You can easily test the bug by simply pressing Ctrl+C in the form here:

https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html

When I do that here, I get:

1. keydown Control
2. keyup C
3. keyup Control

There should have been a keydown C between 1 and 2.

Tested with:

webkitgtk6.0-2.40.5-1.fc38.x86_64
epiphany-44.6-1.fc38.x86_64

Fedora 38 with Xorg.
