Created attachment 98637 Works for me, probably not the proper solution though
Here's a workaround patch that I've been using successfully for a while. Upon loading a new keymap, Xkb does something with the locks. I'm not sure what it is and why it would do so. I just commented out that part and it works great for me. There might be side effects unbeknownst to me. Apparently various manufacturers create keyboards that change the keycode of the numpad keys to their non-numpad equivalents when NumLock is off. Crazy, I know. This is an issue Xkb developers should be aware of. The current behavior on layout change is still not reasonable at all, it's a bug somewhere in Xkb, triggered by such keyboards. Nevertheless, this bug should be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247668 Title: NumLock turned off on layout switch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1247668/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
