#208614 — Numeric keypad not working on Gnome lock screen

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,

Recently the numeric keypad stopped working on the Gnome lock screen.
When booting, the numlock is in the 'off' state and I can simply turn
it on by pressing the numlock key'. When I lock the screen (Super+L),
the numlock light is still on, but pressing a number activates the
second function (arrow, pg up, etc.), I can get numbers by holding the
'shift' key, but not by setting the numlock in either ON of OFF.

Any help in fixing this is appreciated.

Kinds regards,
Steven

More information would be necessary here, e.g. what Debian version you 
are running, if you upgraded any packages recently, etc.

Is your keypad working correctly everywhere outside the lock screen?

Kind regards,
Andrei

I'm running Debian 9 (stable), up-to-date.

Yes, although it is off by default, except after logging into Gnome.
The problem only exists with the lock screen, it works normally on the login
screen (gdm3).

Update, I noticed that it shows the same issue when entering a wi-fi
password, or root password.

Such dialog boxes are kind of special, e.g. to prevent other programs 
from stealing the focus.

This seems to suggest a bug/feature in Gnome/GTK libraries. You might 
want to check the upstream bug reports.

Hope this helps,
Andrei

The issue disappeared after removing 'zoom' (a meeting application) and
its dependency ibus.

This would be worth a bug report against ibus.

Kind regards,
