BUG REPORT FOR EMACS-19.25.1

Problem while remaping keys with xmodmap

On a Dec-Station 5000-25, under Ultrix version 4.3 (rev. 44), under
X11R5 patch level 25.

emacs was created using

        ./configure mips-dec-ultrix --with-x11 
                --x-includes=/usr/local/include
                --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib

No modification was applied to the sources.

I wanted to make my delete-key behave the same way either when I hit
this key alone or while depressing the shift-key. I did not find how
to do this in emacs programming, so I turned to the X-server.

First attempt: I execute the following command

    	xmodmap -e 'keysym Delete = Delete b'

then start emacs. I get the expected behavior: Delete is Delete and
Shift-Delete is b.


Second attempt: I execute the following command

    	xmodmap -e 'keysym Delete = Delete Delete'

then start emacs. When I hit the Delete key, emacs gets DEL, that's
OK. But when I hit the Delete key while depressing the Shift key,
emacs gets the S-delete event. I think that is wrong. The problem is
analogous if I execute

    	xmodmap -e 'keysym Delete = Delete Cancel'

I get respectively Delete and S-cancel.


In all these attempts, emacs is executed with the following command:

         /usr/local/bin/emacs-19.25 -q &

I use the describe-key function in order to see what event is got by
emacs.
