Hi I'm seeing a small issue, after I use DOSBox (which captures keyboard and mouse input), after I close the DOSBox application, the Super key stops working to launch the application menu. Alt+F1 still works. I can work around this by restarting either plasma shell or by restarting kwin_x11. I checked the KDE Bugtracking System and didn't see a copy of this issue, and couldn't find anything similar with Google search. DIdn't see anything in ~/.xsession-errors. Is there any pointers to debug this, is this a common issue? The way I understand it is kwin watches for the meta key push and treats it differently than a normal keypress since it's a modifier key being used as a normal button, so I see how the keyboard capture from DOSBox might be messing with that. I can go ahead and file a bug report if we can't come up with anything here. Thanks for your attention and any assistance.

I'm running KDE 5.12.5 on Debian 9 (NeptuneOS repos.)
