I decided to try to run some tests, to better understand the situation in which the bug would occur, and I just discovered that right now (I'm logged via remote desktop) the keypad keys seem to work as intended only when Num Lock is turned off, i.e. acting as the arrow keys (plus page up/down etc.) but if I enable Num Lock they just do... nothing. They not even seem to work as mouse keys. It doesn't matter the function status, I tried to enable/disable it manually in the control panel (since the keyboard shortcut doesn't work via remote desktop) but nothing changes. Which conclusion would you draw from this? IMHO, that the bug just involves the remote desktop server (I tried two different clients) that is, in my case, the embedded vino.
Of course it would be nice to see how would the keys behave right now "locally", but I won't have access to this pc until monday morning, so this test can't be run. I hope this little "do-it-yourself" analysis can help in some way... if you need any details feel free to ask, I'm constantly monitoring this discussion.
