Hmm, I can't reproduce this here, neither with touch nor mouse pointer.
Does the "." key visibly get stuck in pressed state when it happens? Every time 
you press it or only occasionally?  

Debug output might help. Please run
$ killall onboard; onboard -dall &>onboard-debug-output.txt
make the erroneous repeat happen once, exit Onboard and attach the file here.
