Public bug reported:
>From time-to-time, when using cosmic, my keyboard presses will no longer
register. This applies to both the internal laptop keyboard and my
external keyboard. I haven't identified any particular trigger of this.
The one workaround I have found is to use the mouse (which is still
fully functional, along with everything else about my desktop
environment except keyboard input) to click the "Show Applications"
button; this appeared to free up my keyboard input. (The lock-up has
happened multiple times, but it only just occurred to me to attempt that
as a work-around; this may not be reliable.)
My keyboards did continue to work perfectly fine in a serial console,
but switching to/from the console did not unlock input in GNOME Shell.
Nor did unplugging and replugging my external keyboard.
