I noticed a couple of months ago my keyboard’s keypad stopped working. I assumed it was just something that was broken in a patch and the next patch would probably fix it. After dealing with the top number keys for the last couple of months (including doing my taxes), I decided to just Google it. As is normally the case, there’s an easy fix.

System > Preferences > Keyboard; Mouse Keys Tab; uncheck “Pointer can be controlled using keypad”

Here’s where Google led me to find that out, along with the references to the bug reports regarding the issue.
