Public bug reported:
After starting a session, the numpad behaves as if Mouse Keys is
enabled. Going to Settings > Universal Access > Mouse Keys shows that
the feature is disabled. To disable Mouse Keys, the setting must be
enabled first, then disabled. Alternatively, the following commands must
be used in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable true
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable false
These settings will only persist for the session. It has been observed
that the function seemingly enables itself during a session, with no
known trigger. At the same time, the num lock or shift + num lock hotkey
does not function. Whether that is a separate bug is another story, but
neither key combination results in the accidental or purposeful
activation or deactivation of Mouse Keys.
Problem observed in Ubuntu 18.04. gsettings-desktop-schemas version
3.28.0-1ubuntu1. Has been previously observed in 17.10 and 16.04.
Current temporary workaround is to add the two commands above into a
script to run on startup. This does not solve inadvertent activations
later on, however.
