Thanks. Could you please tell us the exact brand/model of your keyboard?

Do you have another keyboard somewhere that you could try?

It sounds strange I know, but apparently on a few computers the numpad
keys start producing different keycodes when numlock is off (namely the
keycodes of the standalone cursor keys). I have no clue yet if it's a
problem with the keyboard itself, or the motherboard, bios, what else
tries to be more clever than it should...

Make sure NumLock is off. From a terminal start "xev", and press numpad
1. A few friends confirmed to me that they see "keycode 87, keysym
KP_End" which is I think the expected result. On the other hand, I see
"keycode 115, keysym End" which apparently somehow leads to the broken
behavior, I guess you also see this latter.

(Just for reference:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600659#c63 is a totally
different bug apparently caused by the same underlying weird keycode
change.)
