Bug Description
This is not specifically a rekonq problem, but after 20 minutes trying to figure out how to report this, I gave up and decided to report it on the application I first noticed the problem with. You really need to rework this bug reporting system...
After yesterdays (Thursday, 31 May, 2012) large update, where my system went from using KDE from the ppa, to the main pipeline ( a bunch of packages updated from ubuntu0.1-ppa1* or ubuntu0.1-ppa2* to ubuntu0.2*), the function keys have stopped working. Just the function keys, 'Insert', 'Delete', 'PrtScr', etc., all still work as before. They still register in xev, however.
1) The release of Ubuntu:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
2) The version of the package:
See above, no specific package.
3) What you expected to happen:
I expect function keys to do what they're supposed to do according to which application is running.
4) What happened instead:
Nothing. Function keys do not register in any application, they do, however register in xev.

Sorry about this guys. I'd just bought a new keyboard around the time these updates came in. It's a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic, and apparently it has a "Function Lock" feature that you have to activate to use the function keys, otherwise they have other uses. Nice feature, but I think it's reversed. The lock should lock the other features on instead of the other way around.
If someone could, please change this to Invalid.
