Starting sometime fairly recently (not sure exactly; sorry) occasionally (no repeatable case, but happens regularly enough to be annoying), the mode_switch gets stuck in on, such that pressing the key and a letter gives its normal version rather than its mode_switch version. (It's as if the equivalent of caps-lock for mode_switch is on.) There doesn't seem to be any cure but hitting mode_switch a bunch of times and other random typing -- eventually it goes off again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Possibly xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.3.0-1.fc12.x86_64. I'm just blaming evdev because it's convenient -- could be a lot of things, I suppose.

Let's try to blame Xserver itself :) (it doesn't matter that much because issues of input go to Peter anyway). Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), output of the dmesg command, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

This is on my Rawhide box. It also happens on my F12 system at home, which has a different radeon card and generally different hardware overall. I can attach that if you think it might be helpful. I think *maybe* the problem is related to the key _next_ to this one; I've defined that to be Multi_key, and it may be related to hitting that accidentally in some way. I still can't reproduce _on purpose_ though. (But it does happen once every couple of days.)

It uses the space bar as a modifier. Note: You might hate this layout, prepare your own xmodmap on a different console to switch back! Steps to reproduce: 1. xmodmap .Xmodmap 2. press down 'f' key (do not release it). 'f' appears multiple times 3. press down space bar (do not release it). 'f' stops appearing 4. release 'f' key 5. release space bar 6. you now have a 70% chance that your keyboard is out of sync: Press 'f' key and '(' appears These instructions work almost always for me to get the keyboard out of sync. Note that you can use the same steps to get in in sync again. The bug seems easier to reproduce with an idle cpu. Thanks if you can fix this issue.
