Caps_Lock changed to Multi_key

As seen via xev, in my user session the CapsLock key (keycode 66) is bound to Multi_key. Whereas in another user (guest) session it is bound to Caps_Lock.

In a terminal I've tried

setxkbmap -option caps:capslock

but nothing changes.

Running showkey on a text console and pressing the CapsLock key gives keycode 58. The default console keymap file /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz has the following line:

keycode  58 = Caps_Lock

How can I make the CapsLock key be bound to Caps_Lock again?

Just tried it but nothing changed. – Rene Jul 22 '17 at 18:00
Dont confuse X11 keycodes with console codes. Try the same with 66 instead of 58. – meuh Jul 22 '17 at 18:02
You mean to try what? – Rene Jul 23 '17 at 21:08
