Comment 74 for bug 201887

I too have one of these new aluminium keyboards, and I too think it should behave the way we want it to, not the way some more or less illuminated Steve Jobs' HIG designer decided to. Apple has made poor choices in design at times (such as their stubborness with the one-button mouse) and we don't need to live with them.

That said, this keypad bug only happened to me once, and I had to reboot to fix it. I wasn't hitting the "Clear" or "KP_Lock" key by the way... I was plugging in and out the mouse from the USB hub of the keyboard. Strange.
