XFCE: Cannot use keyboard shortcuts (eg. Alt-F2) when Scroll Lock on

My keyboard has LEDs on all the keys that are activated with the scroll lock key. Scroll Lock enabled means LEDs on, scroll lock off means LEDs off. Scroll lock seems to be disabled by default on Linux, so I enabled it with the command "xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'". This allows me to toggle the LEDs by hitting scroll lock. The problem is, none of the XFCE keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+F2 and the custom shortcuts I added in there, work when scroll lock is enabled. If I turn off scroll lock, I can use the shortcuts again, but that's inconvenient. Is there any way I can fix this? Google did not lead me to any useful results.
