Bug#1022972: konsole: Konsole does not handle arrow keys correctly anymore

[Nathanael Schweers <NSchweers@mailbox.org>]

I’d like to add that I have this problem as well.  I don’t have an
nvidia device, so `nvidia-kernel-dkms` may not be involved.

I use(d) konsole on two machines, both running debian unstable.  On one
of these machines the problem did not manifest for a while, until after
a reboot.

Also this problem not only affects konsole, but possibly also keepassxc.
There I cannot confirm the just entered password by hitting the return
key.  Instead I have to either use the rodent or use TAB to switch focus
to the appropriate button.

I hope this helps.
