I am unable to use the main up arrow with Xpra. If I turn off NumLock, I can use the number pad up arrow ("8").

Here's what I get when pressing the regular up arrow:

2020-09-02 19:36:52,331 parse_key_event(<Gdk.EventKey object at 0x7f3cad40c680 (void at 0x4151c00)>, True)=<GTKKeyEvent object, contents: {'modifiers': [], 'keyname': 'Up', 'keyval': 65362, 'keycode': 111, 'group': 0, 'string': '', 'pressed': True}>
2020-09-02 19:36:52,333 handle_key_action(GLClientWindow(1 : gtk3.GLDrawingArea(1, (640, 640), GBRP)), <GTKKeyEvent object, contents: {'modifiers': [], 'keyname': 'Up', 'keyval': 65362, 'keycode': 111, 'group': 0, 'string': '', 'pressed': True}>) wid=1

It arrives as this:

KeymapNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   

My numpad up arrow generates like this:

I am testing with the Python client, but I'm more interested in getting the HTML5 client working.

Incidentally, if I press shift with the up arrrow, I get an "A".

Initial testing shows that this is not a problem with 4.1. I'm going to upgrade.

Please specify OS, versions, etc as per ReportingBugs.
Keyboard mapping varies widely on each platform.
