XMBC Version: 2.18.7
Windows Version: Windows 10 Pro x64
Mouse Information (brand/model): Logitech G102
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc): Not relevant
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No
How long have you used XMBC?: About 3 months
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: English QWERTY keyboard layout

Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:I made different layers (upto layer 7) for middle button macro (simulated keys). Each layer changes the macro of the middle button a little bit. Then i opened Settings -> Modifier Keys -> Layer modifiers. I used Numpad 2 to Numpad 7 to activate Layers 2 - 7 respectively. The shortcut works till layer 5 but after layer 6, the activate shortcut doesn't seem to work.
I've tried multiple other shortcuts for layers 6 and 7 but none of them seems to work. Everything shortcut works fine upto layer 5.

XMBC originally had a maximum of 5 layers so that's probably why it works up to 5. However, it certainly has worked in the past, so I will take a look. It is possible it got broken somewhere along the line and probably fell through the gaps of testing - as far as I know not many people actually use more than 5 layers never mind with modifier keys.

Edit: Interesting, here is seems to work up to 6, but not above - that really doesn't make much sense but at least I can reproduce the problem (=Easier to figure out whats going on).
