--- Comment #2 from Jethro Nederhof <jethro at jethron.id.au> ---
Also experiencing this issue.

Temporary workaround:
XFCE Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts > Selecting the 'Print'
shortcut for 'xfce-screenshooter' and removing that option (it is a default
entry in XFCE) restores the up-arrow after restarting the session.

But presumably PrtScn will now no longer take screenshots?

With the default in place and the evdev keyboard input driver you get this PR
behaviour where it registers it as some kind of input, but not up arrow
(cursors, scroll bars etc seem to 'flash' as a focus change or something when
you press the key, but 'up' never registers).

Switching to libinput makes the up-arrow actually try to run xfce-screenshooter
which gives me an error (because I don't have that installed) which led me to
this workaround. Why evdev doesn't try to run shooter and give the error, but
disabling that shortcut still fixes the problem, is a different question...
