keysym --release is unreliable #6456

Description

@Spferical
  • Sway Version: 1.6.1

  • Description:

    • Configure bindsym --release Alt_R notify-send foobar
    • Press Alt_R key
    • Press another key, e.g. Alt_L
    • Release Alt_R

If any key is pressed before releasing the configured key, the bindsym command is not executed. The same bug happens if I bind to e.g. a letter key.

According to the discussion here, a similar issue was fixed back in 2018, so this might be a regression. My use case is that I would like to configure a push-to-talk button through sway that mutes the microphone when let go.
