What happened?

Hi everyone.

Basically the Super (Windows) key stopped working on both ends, as far as I can see this is the only key that is not working.

I'm on Arch Linux on both ends.
Server is a Desktop and the Client is a Notebook ThinkPad T470, the notebook has a Spanish layout (I'm from Argentina the notebook is from my work, but I prefer the English layout) while in my desktop I'm using an en_US keyboard, but it is working fine, when I use the English keyboard on the Notebook it's getting the correct layout (English). Yet the Super key doesn't work on either side and it is very important since I have shortcuts mapped on both machines specifically with that key.

Regards.
Agustin Repetto

Solved:
For some reason my keyboard got activated the "Game Mode" that disables the Super key... I'm not sure if I touch it by mistake or if it got reset to default that mode I don't know but it was a dumb mistake from my side

Going to piggy back on this issue. I am on Ubuntu 22.04 on one system and Ubuntu 22.10(server). Right now the Meta key or Super is always picked up by the Server.

Using flatpak version 2.4.0 on both client and server.
