It's been several years since my report! Still reproducible on latest Ubuntu.

It usually works fine. However, when I plug in YubiKey (hardware security token, it is also identified as a USB HID keyboard) NumLock LED turns OFF, but the NumLock feature is still ON. If I press NumLock, NumLock becomes disabled (it is displayed by DE and checked by typing). If I press NumLock again, NumLock turns back ON with LED. I originally thought that issue could be related to the fact that YubiKey does not have a NumLock led, so it reports LED as nonexisting and stuff happens. However, today I tried attaching another USB keyboard: LED on first one still goes off; but LED on second goes ON immediately after plugging in. Pressing NumLock once disables NumLock and LED on first keyboard, as with YubiKey; pressing again enabled NumLock and both LEDs. Seems like my user session (on vt2) is running Xorg while login screen (on vt1, the one that allows to choose a user and that you see before first login) is running Wayland; both are faulty. Because of this, I believe the issue is in the kernel. However, I am not sure, so you can ask for way more reports to be added, I will add those. Reproducing should be pretty easy with any cheap USB keyboards, nothing special is used by me. Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver. Linux kernel: 18.04 HWE, 5.0.0-25. However, I think I saw this blinking before upgrading to HWE. DE: GNOME.
