Bug Description
I made my caps lock key another ISO_Level3_Shift key since that used heavily on german keyboards. I customized my keyboard layout with xmodmap so that I have a additional cursor key block on i,j,k,l enabled by holding ISO_Level3_Shift. So that I can move around the cursor without leaving the home row while programming.
I tried using shift+left,right to navigate between tabs in gnome-terminal which works fine but my custom cursor key block activated with ISO_Level3_Shift would always switch tabs. That is whenever I tried to go left or right in the application running inside the terminal it would switch tabs instead of moving the cursor when I used my custom cursor key block. Which is wrong behaviour, it should only switch tabs when I hold an additional shift. For example Shift+ISO_
