The numpad insert key is locked when NvDA+Numlock is pressed in input help mode

Hi,
A number of Korean users report the following:
When you press NvDA+Numlock while in input help mode, the Numpad insert key which acts as NVDA key becomes locked (for example, pressing 1 exits input help, press Q quits NvDA, etc.).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Press NvDA+1 to enter input help mode.
2. While in input help, press NVDA+numlock.
3. Try pressing numpad keys or alphanumeric keys.
   Output:

• When just Numpad keys are pressed, NVDA says, "NVDA+numlock numpad key".
• When just alphanumeric keys are pressed, NvDA says,
  NVDA+key".
  To solve this problem, while in input help mode, press NVDA+Numlock again.
  Thanks.

Note that this doesn't happen if you use the main insert key to press NVDA+numlock.

My suspicion is that this occurs because once numlock is pressed, numpad insert becomes numpad 0, so Windows sends us a release for numpad 0, not numpad insert. As far as NVDA is concerned, numpad insert never got released. I suppose we could try to hack around this. Are there any keyboards where numpad 0 and numpad insert aren't the same key?

Marking as trivial because pressing NVDA+numlock is a weird thing to do anyway and it's easy enough to recover.

Bah. That little Trac quirk is getting annoying.

this is still the case with the latest NVDA. Note that I had to press Numpad 0 + NumLock on my particular computer while in input help mode to get this to occur.
