Try clicking more slowly. I just reproduced it by holding the button down on the return key for a second. I have gnome-terminal auto-starting in the session and it starts scrolling from all the enter presses right after activating it.
And yes, without sending SIGTERM Onboard doesn't get the chance to clean up and release pressed keys. The linked branch does that and in case anything gets stuck it sends a SIGKILL too for good measure. That was just a suggestion, but perhaps you can re-use some of the pieces. Another option may be to make the greeter log in on key release instead of key press when hitting return. Onboard wouldn't have to release any keys that way. I felt that was a more invasive change, though, so I haven't suggested it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978430 Title: "Enter" hangs when using it entering password with onboard in lightdm Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard: New Status in Unity Greeter: Fix Released Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When i enter my login password in lightdm using onboard and hit "enter" at the end on the onscreen keyboard, the key hangs in unity, which causes strange behaviour.
