Description
### What Happened?
Num Lock sometimes works inversely to how it should actually work. My Num Lock key has an indicator light that also confirms what I'm seeing)
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Logged in
2. Toggled Num Lock on (indicator light also came on). Numbers can be written.
3. Logged out. On greeter, I have num lock turned off, indicator light also turned off
4. Logged back in. Indicator light came back, but pressing the number keys do their secondary action instead of writing numbers. Toggling num lock off actually makes them write numbers now.
5. Logging out and in again reverses the num lock state again.
### Expected Behavior
Num lock should always be num lock and write numbers
### OS Version
8.x (Circe)
### Session Type
Secure Session (Wayland)
### Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
### Log Output
_No response_
### Hardware Info
ThinkPad T16 Gen1 AMD
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Num Lock state change across logout and login in the Secure Session (Wayland) described in the issue. No files, tests, or entry points are named; done means Num Lock behavior and its indicator remain consistent after logging out and in again on the reported ThinkPad T16 Gen1 AMD.
