When I press a the KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT or KEY_RIGHT button on my remote, the button appears to be pressed twice.

When looking at the ir-keytable output, all buttons work just fine, except the ones mentioned above.

It turns out that when I press e.g. the UP button, also a ^[[A is triggered, which corresponds to the the up key on the keyboard.
This happens with all four buttons.

Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? The buttons are used a lot and browsing the menu is almost impossible with this bug.

The ir-keytable output:

Try to search the forums, or even with google. This question has been asked before and was resolved.

I've searched a lot, but haven't been able to find anything related to this particular issue.
I did find a lot about double key presses, but not where a remote generates a keyboard code.

I tried to disable the key_up, key_down, key_left and key_right mappings in the keymap file for my remote. The buttons on the remote are not triggered then and moreover, the keypresses on the keyboard then also dissappear. So, this results in no action when pressing the button.

Any suggestions?
