equal symbol is not working about bigbagkbdtrixxkb HOT 3 OPEN

update, I tried unchecking all the layout options in the GUI, and revert to the most vanilla us standard keyboard. Then proceed to activate the extend option, and this alone produces the bug above. This should rule out any complicated iteraction of layout and option as source of the problem.

Any suggestion on how I could proceed to debug this issue? The extend file looks fine, nothing special in the definition of the = key. Yet this option alone on top of the most basic us keyboard layout produces the error above.

As you say, there's nothing strange about the Extend entry for the equals key (key ) that I can see. If you comment out the lines in that entry alone, the problem appears?

How about if you swap key codes between that line and another that's currently working for you? Could you try that out please?

Bear in mind that to reset the xkb options you should open with an empty option string, like this:
setxkbmap -option "" -option "misc:extend"
