Keyboard Neo Layout: No "0" in 4th layer #10303

Issue

Using neo layout, the 4th layer provides numbers. After updating to Mint 20.2 (from 20.1, where it worked without problems) the space key no longer produces a "0" but a space. All other numbers work as expected.

Steps to reproduce Activating 4th layer (locked or with pressing the modifier key) and pressing space. -> " "

Expected behaviour A "0".

It works for a time after resuming from suspend. xev after suspend:

Removing the neo layout and readding it in the keyboard settings fixes it for a short time.

The problem does not occur when a second keyboard layout (normal German layout) is permanently added.

But with the second layout the wrong layout is always selected on the lock screen, and it is not possible to switch.
