re: the earlier mentioned warning output in question, appears harmless according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1615700
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
Warning: Unsupported high keycode 372 for name <I372> ignored
X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.
This warning only shows for the first high keycode.
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

Moving all keyboard/IME open bugs to DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling component.

I am facing a similar problem, although I have not changed my keybindings with setxkbmap.
In Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon, doing any of the following will present the bug
- enabling the following option. "Settings" => "Mouse and Touchpad" => "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed"
- Or in "Settings" => "Keyboard" => "Shortcuts" Binding a shortcut to anything that contains the Ctrl key in it.
Most sites will refocus the text box after the Control key has been released, however, a few web sites will not have their text boxes refocused.
A notable example that occurs to me rather frequently is duckduckgo.com, where on both the main page and results page, text box focus is lost. And on the results page pressing common editing key combinations (such as Control + Right arrow to move to the start of the next word) will activate as if only the right arrow has been pushed and switch to image results instead of moving the cursor to the next word.
