Keybindings not working correctly

See original GitHub issue

The issue:

Hey, so I just updated to Qtile 0.22.1, but now there is an issue with my config.py. So I did some debugging an I found out that if there is two keybinding in the keys list that contains a keybinding with “mod”, and “mod + mod5”, then both the keybindings will be set to the first. Here is an example:

mod = "mod4"
altgr = "mod5"

keys = [
  ...
  Key([mod], "p", lazy.spawn(".config/dmenu/dm-utils")),
  Key([mod, altgr], "p", lazy.spawn(".config/dmenu/dm-help")),
]

So if this is inside the config.py, then if I do either of the key presses, then it will run this every time: lazy.spawn(".config/dmenu/dm-utils")

Required:

I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported.

I can now confirm that my problem is something else. The differentiating is the DisplayManager. On my PC I use SDDM, in the VM I used the default GDM. I can consistently reproduce the overlapping key bindings when using SDDM, with GDM everything is fine. I might open a new issue for this.
