It looks like I can re-assign A and D to Left and Right arrow keys but can't change W and S to Up and Down arrows.
Is there a problem with my game or is this by design?

You'll have to edit the config file manually...
Close the game.
Reset controls to default.
Open the following file with text editor (notepad):
My Documents\Witcher 2\Config\User.ini
Look for the following strings and change them with the string after the arrow (Find => Replace):
IK_W => IK_Up
IK_S => IK_Down
IK_A => IK_Left
IK_D => IK_Right
Save, close text editor and start the game. That should do the trick.

If you don't want to do the ini tweak, these issues will be addressed in the up coming patch. Which should be out today or tomorrow.

Is a bug , it will fixed in the next patch - maybe today will be the launch .
You can change it in the ini files . Information about the change - there are some problems if you change other keys in the configurator - up and down disappear - or if you change the lenguage of the game, the game reset all key mapping .

Final tutorial:
1. Open Documents\Witcher 2\config (not instalation folder)
2. File DIMapping.ini contains keys that game knows (but not all will work on your keyboard) - use it as source
3. File user.ini contains your binding. You have to replace IK_SomeOriginalKey= with your key
4. You can delete all IK_PAD_* mappings, they are for gamepad
5. You can remap I Inventory key, M Map key...
6. You can verify your binding by opening Options from launcher - but it will break Up/Down arrows mapping. You have to delete added lines:
IK_Down=(GameKey="GI_Down",Value=1)
IK_Up=(GameKey="GI_Up",Value=1)
These keys are valid - you will control movement by cursor keys:
IK_Down=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftY,Value=-1.000000)
IK_Up=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftY,Value=1.000000)
IK_Left=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftX,Value=-1.000000)
IK_Down=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftY,Value=-1.000000)
