after upgrading to 14.04 (from 12.04) the down arrow is not working properly anymore on graphical system. On console the key works fine, but not on terminal (within X). Unfortunately I didn't found the answer by searching on Internet, maybe I'm looking for the wrong tags/ key words. However, I found some hints to check the button behavior with xev
. The result of the key sequence arrow left, up, right and down is shown here:

As you may see, the arrow down behavior is different, but does anyone know how to fix it?
