Bug#448152: kdebase: kxkb misinterprets extended scan codes
Package: kdebase
Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
On the latest upgrade - to 3.5.8 - kxkb seems to have been broken and
misinterprets extended key scan codes: the normal keys work but the
cursor etc keys to the right do not. For example, the up key is
interpreted as printscreen (which led to great confusion with kSnapshot
appearing all the time!) No problem in a standard text console or with
other window managers (twm); I eventially found that turning off
keyboard layouts and restarting the x-server did the trick, and
re-enabling breaks things again. However - I need multiple keyboard
layouts....
