Pressing the up arrow responds as if PrintScreen were pressed instead

[Kiri]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

In Gnome on Lucid Lynx. Logged into an account with gnome settings originating from Karmic Koala.
105-key International keyboard. Multiple layouts tested.

Pressing the Up arrow key, "↑", causes a Screen Shot to be taken as if the Print Screen key were pressed.
Changing the short cut key for a screen capture to a different key and then back to Print Screen fixed the problem.
The up arrow now functions correctly.
Perhaps this is a bug present when upgrading Gnome versions from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx.

This bug reinstates itself when the Gnome Session is restarted.
Log out. Log in. The bug is back.
I started my session from the terminal using xinit.

My default keyboard layout is US dvorak-international.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is an xkeyboard-config one, that happens under virtualbox usually too...

Kiri - I've forwarded this bug upstream to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27504 - please subscribe yourself to this bug, in case they need further information or wish you to test something. Thanks ahead of time!

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

What happens in xev utility, when you press the "Up" arrow? XKB configuration looks fine, Up is Up :)

[Daniel Stone (daniels)]

Classic evdev vs. pc105 misconfiguration and/or client bug. gnome-settings-daemon was broken for a long time here.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Upstream says this was a gsd bug which has since been resolved.
