Although reported to gitlab.freedesktop.org (see above), there is no sign
whatsoever of activity in that quarter.
In the meantime, I have just downloaded the latest batch of 18.04 updates, and
the situation has got immeasurably worse.
The relevant part of the xmodmap -pk output has now changed to:
136 0xffc8 (F11) 0xffc8 (F11) 0xffc8 (F11) 0xffc8 (F11)

146 0xff6a (Help) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xff6a (Help)
i.e. the keysyms mapped to keycodes 141, 142, 143, and 145 have all
changed, and unpteen things which were working fine this morning are
suddenly broken (in addition to gedit, which I can fix, my Opera Browser
is affected' libreoffice and firefox seem to have survived, but every
application whatsoever, when you press keycode 145, produces an ugly
popup concerning my "rear microphone" - which does not even exist).
What is going on?
