No, it does not. Running xev shows the same behaviour. Seems like it's not an Emacs bug. I'll report it to Xwayland then.

Thanks for your time. Hope I don't do another bug report with this reply, first time using mailing lists.

I'm running GNU/Emacs on Wayland wlroots compositor Sway, via Xwayland
and I'm using colemak keyboard layout which has Caps-lock key bound to
Backspace. I expect holding Caps-lock to behave the same as holding
Backspace. However, it does not. When I hold Backspace it starts erasing
text, until I unhold it. But when I hold Caps-lock key, it erases one
single character and stops. This is incorrect.
Do the extra <backspace> events you expect reach Emacs?  You can check
by running the following code:

   (while t (message "%s %s" (float-time) (read-char)))

and checking to see if the timestamp increases while Caps Lock is held
down.
