** Keyboard problems
*** PGTK build of Emacs running on Wayland doesn't recognize Hyper modifier
If you arrange for the Wayland compositor to send the Hyper key
modifier (e.g., via XKB customizations), the Hyper modifier will still
not be reported to Emacs.
The reason is that GDK 3.x doesn't recognize the Hyper key modifier.
Since GDK 3.x is no longer developed, this bug in GDK will probably
never be solved. And the Emacs PGTK build cannot yet support GTK4,
where this problem is reportedly solved.
*** Unable to enter the M-| key on some German keyboards.
Some users have reported that M-| suffers from "keyboard ghosting".
This can't be fixed by Emacs, as the keypress never gets passed to it

future, upgrade to a newer version which solves the problem, when such
a fixed version becomes available).
*** Emacs running on WSL receives stray characters as input.
For example, you could see Emacs inserting 'z' characters even though
nothing is typed on the keyboard, and even if you unplug the keyboard.
The reason is a bug in the WSL X server's handling of key-press and
key-repeat events. A workaround is to use the Cygwin or native
MS-Windows build of Emacs instead.
** Problems with hostname resolution
*** Emacs does not know your host's fully-qualified domain name.
