I am connecting from Ubuntu Linux 18 to another Ubuntu linux machine with x2go. Connection works, but some keys don't, especially arrow keys. When I press up arrow, it starts screen capture:

I tried some recipes from this question: https://serverfault.com/questions/582552/x2go-arrow-key-is-not-working-properly but they don't help. setxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY -- doesn't fix the problem. I tried to play with keyboard settings here:

but it doesn't help also. How can I fix it?

UPDATE: my x2go client version is:

enter image description here

x2go server version: x2goserver/bionic,now 4.1.0.0-3 amd64

UPDATE 2 I've followed instruction from wiki.x2go.org updating x2goclient to 4.1.2.2-0~1913~ubuntu18.04.1 and x2goserver to 4.1.0.3-0~1708~ubuntu18.04.1. The problem is still there.

Not so much of a resolution, but definitely a fix. Read on.

I routinely use X2GoClient on Linux and Windows against same sessions on Linux boxes. Every time I use the Windows version, one or two keys don't work. It's usually a special key, like one of the arrow keys, backspace, or delete and is not consistent for the most part, but for the past month it has been that the delete key doesn't work inside the session. Once I used the Linux client, the problem sometimes would go away and sometimes wouldn't. Couldn't solve it, but finally got around it by using Autokey (apt install autokey-qt or autokey-gtk) and mapping the "delete" key to "". I suspect it'll work for other keys as well.
