Description Frank Schmidt 2009-07-24 21:13:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          gc c 4.4.0 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

As of FC10 and also FC11 and of course with the advent of kde 4 I experience this very annoying bug: after a typical period of 30mns - 1h for unknown reasons the down key on keyboard stops working. This seems not depend on the hardware since it happens on my HP pavilion zd8000 but also my MAC Pro both operating Fedora FC10 now FC11.
With some fiddling I can reset my boxes via: Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout -> Enable keyboard layout -> Apply. But it will come back after 30 minutes again. It is general on any application, i.e. konsole, emacs etc

Similar behavior for me, up and down keys stop working after a random period of time. Mainly happening in konsole, but it is now happening (as I type this) in konqueror. Left, right keys are not affected.

Konsole version: 2.3.2 
KDE 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages
Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-trunk-amd64
Debian squeeze amd64

Although I do not think konsole should be blamed in this report, does this problem still exist?

unlikely caused by konsole and does happen in KDE-4.7.0.
