Hello fellow earthlings daily beaten by this bug.

I used this workaround to permanently disable mousekeys shortcut shift+num-lock, alt+shift+num-lock etc...

gksudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete
-or-
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete

and comment out lines for mousekeys and accesx(full) (for full keyboard accessibility purge)

resulting file /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete:
// $XKeyboardConfig$
// $Xorg: complete,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:34 cpqbld Exp $
default xkb_compatibility "complete" {
    include "basic"
    augment "iso9995"
    //augment "mousekeys"
    //augment "accessx(full)"
    augment "misc"
    augment "xfree86"
    augment "level5"
};

Wish you a lot happy days without moving mouse by keypad ;)
