libxml2 2.14.6-1 correlated with openbox keybinds failing
After an upgrade, my openbox keybinds stopped working about half the time. Since downgrading libxml2 2.14.6-1 -> 2.14.5-1 the keybinds always work again.
Anyone else had problems with libxml2 2.14.6-1?

No problems since upgrading last night libxml2 (2.14.5-1 -> 2.15.0-1).

I'm having this problem again now. However downgrading libxml2 (e.g. 2.15.1-4 -> 2.15.0-1) breaks things, including openbox. I might try moving to another window manager, which I've been thinking about anyway.

does it also not work on waybox, the wayland version of openbox?

Since yesterday, I haven't noticed the problem again in openbox. I think it happens when the system is busy, e.g. now if I hold a shortcut to repeat, I see a mixture of the shortcut executing and the key being registered by the active window.
