Description

### What Happened?

After installing elementary 7.0 on my 2007 MacBook, I found that I could not type anything. I then found out that the num lock was enabled, despite it being reported as _disabled_ in the settings. Bringing up the layout viewer showed that it was actually on.

The only way to disable it was to invoke the on-screen keyboard and disable it from there, as there is no physical key on the MacBook to disable it.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Install elementary OS 7.0
2. Reboot and log in
3. Try to type anything

### Expected Behavior

The num lock is not enabled by default and it respects the settings.

### OS Version

7.x (Horus)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

_No response_

### Hardware Info

_No response_
