It may seem silly, but is numlock on? It could be that because the
keyboard doesn't have a numberpad, it's emulating one like many laptop
keyboards: having it take over the right half of the board when numlock
is enabled. I don't know why upgrading Gnome would make numlock on by
default, but it's worth a look, I think.

After Gnome 3.10 -> 3.12 upgrade my Bluetooth keyboard layout became
crazy. There are no English letters, instead it types some numbers.
Sounds silly, but if I press in gedit letter "p" is prints "*", "o" is
"6", "l" is "3", "q", "w" and others do out output anything.
The keyboard is visible in Bluetooth settings. I also tried to delete
the keyword settings and reconnect it and it was successful, layout is
still incorrect.
Any ideas?
