Start Gnome Press CTRL (om right side) or ALT GR Numlock led turns off Press caps lock Numlock turns on and I have no problem until next session kayboard settings: brazilian portuguese abnt2 layout I use microsoft wired 600 USB keyboard http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/pt-br/p/wired-keyboard-600
Numlock led turns off when I press shift, ALT, ALT GR or CTRL keys.
I confirm the bug (Logitech Internet 350 Keyboard). Fedora 19.
What's the output of "xmodmap -pke" on this machine? It's very likely that this is this very hard to fix bug in the Xorg server which we'll need to work-around in GNOME: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722753

Since it hits Gnome 3.8 too, hence it hits RHEL7 Beta (tested with a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 400).
(In reply to comment #0) > abnt2 layout How do you set the abnt2 layout exactly? Because it doesn't show up in any GNOME configuration tools.

I was able to reproduce this now. It's not specific to a layout in particular and it happens after you switch keyboard layouts. Action sequence to trigger is: 1. $ setxkbmap us 2. enable NumLock 3. $ setxkbmap br 4. press any modifier key At this point the numlock led turn off and the keycodes sent for those keys are indeed the original (non numlocked) ones. But the X server still sends a modmask including numlock in key events. If you now press NumLock the led doesn't light up and you finally start getting events without numlock in the state modmask. So it seems like an X server bug. I'll give it a look.

Comment on attachment 279921 [details] [review] region: Make it possible to add an input source by activating its row wrong bug, sorry
Confirmed this is still happening (following the steps with setxkbmap above) with gnome-settings-daemon-3.16.1-1.fc22.x86_64 (Fedora 22 beta).
A fix has been submitted for testing in Fedora: To test it: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=760142 To rate it: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f2f8b12e17
From the Fedora bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047151 it's fairly clear it's not a GNOME bug.
