I have caps-lock key remapped to control, which usually works fine, but after some uptime and one/more suspend/awake cycles* this mapping breaks, and caps-lock reverts back to the default behavior — i.e. turning on the led and capitalizing whatever I type.
(Even though the Tweaks UI still shows it as being mapped to Ctrl — see picture below.)
Questions:
- Is this a known issue (with maybe a known fix)? (Could not find anything relevant with a quick search.)
- Is there a way to debug the problem, preferably from the command line?
*Remark: I'm not sure it is the suspend/awake cycle that causes the problem, but I can't connect it to anything else…
Remark2: removing and readding the mapping (or rebooting) solves the problem, but it would be nice to find a more permanent solution.

As a workaround when the mapping breaks, restart gnome shell via:
rso it works again until it breaks again.
