Thanks for taking your time to report bugs and help making ubuntu better.

Could you please check whether "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard" in System -> Settings -> Keyboard preferences is activated and check if deactivating solves the issue?

Thanks

Hi :)
 I didn't find that option in "Keyboard preferences". May you give me further information about how finding it?

I too have this problem but it happened after doing recently updates on Hardy (previous posts are dated on 2008-02 but in my situation the issue happened some weeks ago, and seeing that my system was always updated this means that there were other patches that cuased this.).
The workaround proposed by Kjell Braden solves the issue (I found in the web other people that suggested this) but it remains a workaround.
I think marking it as "invalid" is wrong: if we consider that on Jaunty or karmic this issue doesn't happen we should mark it, at least, as "fix released" but we should be sure about it.

I can say that some of my friends have this issue also either with Jaunty or with karmic beta. I don't re-open it because I cannot test it (I currently use Hardy as my workstation) however this bug should be considered "new" for me.
Is someone using Jaunty or Karmig affecting by this issue?
