bug#54889: 29.0.50; shift keys can't function when using setxkbmap with custom_symbol in gnome

[bg . jheng]

I serched my map and found no config part  had Hyper for virtualModifier ,
but i found Hyper_R config in symbols  <RTSH>  in group 2,
after changed to Shift_R,
i can inser capital letter in emacs 29.

old:   key <RTSH> {  [         Shift_R, Shift_R, U2E9D] ,[ Hyper_R ] };
new:   key <RTSH> {  [         Shift_R, Shift_R, U2E9D] ,[ Shift_R ] };

I don't know why cause that,

since that is not belong parts of emacs,

I feel so sorry any where for this report let you be troubled.

Anyway, thanks you for your help.

So something in your virtual modifier map is binding Shift to Hyper.
That's a bug in your setup, not in Emacs.

Thanks.
