NUMLOCK LED after login but goes out if you touch a special key i.e. SHIFT but numeric keypad still outputs numbers

[Phil Wyett]

Odd quirk.

NUMLOCK LED after login but goes out if you touch a special key i.e. SHIFT but numeric keypad still outputs numbers.

Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 dev as of 2013-09-19.

  - Login.
  - Observe NUMLOCK LED is on.
  - Hit SHIFT key.
  - NUMLOCK LED turns off.
  - Open a terminal or app of your choice to type into and use numeric keypad. The output will be numbers.

Hitting NUMLOCK key twice corrects behaviour.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

...and it turns itself on again automatically if you press "caps lock"...

I have this bug on Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint. It started only after installing the recent 14.04 .1 updates. This Bug Effects My ASUS X54C, But dose not Effect My Dell Latitude E6410.
