Go to :
1) System
2) Preferences
3) Keyboard (Tab: Mouse Keys)
4) Uncheck (Allow to control pointer using the keyboard).

Thanks!
This worked on 8.10 Intrepid Ibex too.

I was having the same problem with Lucid, and the solution worked. I feel kind of stupid. I never even noticed that the keypresses were moving the mouse pointer.

Worked in Karmic.

Why is this option turning on anyway? I know for a fact i didn't do it myself, and it's annoying as all hell.

worked in 9.10. i had never touched the switch, but at some time Ubuntu corrupted to check the option and shut down the keypad. my discovery was when the DEL key did not work, yet i use it with some frequency.

i tore up a keyboard(unfortunately) before i read this post!
