Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I own a Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse combo, wich I use in combination
with the supplied bluethooth stick.
This keyboard doesn't have a numlock key but forces the numlock to be on in
hardware. This wasn't a problem pre-Gnome 3.8, but now the system says numlock
is on, yet when entering numbers on the keypad it uses the alternate functions
of the numeric keys (page up, page down, cursor keys, etc.). When doing so the
system briefly says 'numlock off' (I use the Lock Keys extension by
kazimieras.vaina in Gnome to display that). Since I don't have a numlock key,
on this keyboard, this gets very annoying (on my laptop I just press numlock to
get it to turn on)
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading Gnome from 3.4 to 3.8 in testing
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Playing around with numlockx.
* What was the outcome of this action?
the 'numlockx on' command doesn't work as the system already reports that the
numlock is turned on.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A working numeric keypad.
Best regards,
Steven
