Description Bryce Harrington 2010-04-06 21:21:32 UTC
Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Kiri:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/521381

[Problem]
Up arrow and Print Screen are mis-mapped on US dvorak-international keyboard.

[Original Report]
In Gnome on Lucid Lynx. Logged into an account with gnome settings originating from Karmic Koala.
105-key International keyboard. Multiple layouts tested.

Pressing the Up arrow key, "↑", causes a Screen Shot to be taken as if the Print Screen key were pressed.
Changing the short cut key for a screen capture to a different key and then back to Print Screen fixed the problem.
The up arrow now functions correctly.
Perhaps this is a bug present when upgrading Gnome versions from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx.

What happens in xev utility, when you press the "Up" arrow? XKB configuration looks fine, Up is Up :)
Comment 4 Daniel Stone 2012-08-08 17:47:03 UTC
Classic evdev vs. pc105 misconfiguration and/or client bug.  gnome-settings-daemon was broken for a long time here.
