Bug description

Every time I put the computer to sleep (suspend to RAM) and then wake it up, NumLock won't light back up and I have to manually press the key twice, so that the light comes back.
See "additional information".

Steps to reproduce

  1. Put the computer to sleep (suspend to RAM).
  2. Wake it up.
  3. Watch the NumLock light staying off.

Expected behavior

Upon resuming from sleep NumLock should light up.

Additional information

  1. It's not just about the light, though - it seems that upon resuming NumLock doesn't work at all. I have it set up in cinnamon settings to autostart NumLock upon system startup and THAT works. The problem ony occurs when waking the computer from sleep.
  2. This report is about desktop computer, NOT a laptop.
  3. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, kernel problem, so to test it I bought a new keyboard and updated the kernel (as well as the nvidia driver bc it goes "hand to hand" with the kernel) but nothing changed.
    Then for the test I installed the system anew with different desktops and that problem doesn't exist there, it's only in Cinnamon.
  4. I think this problem is related only to Cinnamon 6.6.x bc my laptop and an older computer of mine both have 5.8.4 and the problem doesn't exist there either.
  5. Unfortunately xsession-errors is empty, so I can't tell what the cause of this problem is.
