Composed key using Fn- is not released if Fn- is released first?

Scripting Issues

On some laptop keyboard the navigation keys are not present explicitly, they are emulated with the Fn key, e.g. arrow-up is Fn-8 on the numpad.

Trouble is that if I first release the Fn key, Panda3D does not generate an arrow-up-release event and for my app it is as if the key was still pressed. The only way to properly release the key is to be sure to release the modified key before the Fn key.

After further testing, it seems the problem is located in the event management of the X server, using xev I could reproduce the problem and get an endless stream of keyboard event if I release the keys in the wrong order (but it’s much harder to reproduce than with Panda)
