You haven't specified exactly *how* you invoke the applications on Linux, but I suspect they are X applications and you invoke them via the X forwarding feature of ssh. This makes your question off-topic for the main list, and on-topic for the cygwin-xfree list (which the Reply-To of this message points to). If you aren't using X, please follow-up to the main list with more details. As for your problem, in the absense of more information, it looks like you're seeing weird Num-Lock-related behavior, which is a known problem with Cygwin/X. Try using the digits above the alphabetical keys instead of the keypad. I also seem to recall some recipes for making Num-Lock work properly -- searching the cygwin-xfree archives may help.
