I can also confirm this behavior with 7.10. It's a fresh install on a laptop (Toshiba Satellite P100 - full keyboard, so I use the number pad a lot). The duration between Mouse Keys turning on seems to be random - very hard to anticipate when it'll happen. I haven't had it switch while I'm actually in the middle of actually using my number pad though.

One thing that might be worth noting is that I frequently have remote sessions to other machines (both Windows and Linux) and I'm not sure if this might contribute to enabling the functionality or not. I've seen odd behavior with keys like Caps Lock and Num Lock while switching between Term Server or VNC, so I wanted to mention it.

I'm able to provide any attachments as well if they're needed.
