Hello !
I've been having this problem for a while with Kopete. The shortcut that sends messages (enter) only works when Numlock is off. I can't figure out why... I tried to reassign it while Numlock was on but then it doesn't work at all...
Is it a problem with my keyboard configuration or with Kopete?

Thanks for your help!

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 beta on a Packard Bell laptop with french keyboard.

This is likely an issue with your keyboard layout, or system keyboard. On some systems ( including my own ) when Numlock is enabled then some keys convert into a numerical number pad.

So I should try and change my keyboard layout? Because I tried it and I never found a layout that seemed to do the trick...
What really bothers me is that it doesn't seem to affect other softwares. For the time being I'm using emesene as a substitute for Kopete and there's no such problem.

I do not know why this only affects Kopete, but in that case it rules out Keyboard Layout / Hardware related issues. It is possible that the enter key will only "function" when certain conditions have been met and the num lock key somehow interferes in this.

OK, Thank you for your answers.

Has there been any futher progress as to why kopete does this? I just has the same problem yesterday during a heavy chatting session and it was a mess to keep clicking send with each message
