I am not sure what is your problem (which characters do you type?), but
check if the NumLock key is ON. It should be OFF when you type in the
FrontEnd, and upgrading your system has maybe changed the deafult settings
for the NumLock key upon starting X Window System.

Best regards,
                                 Marko
