No, it is not the same problem. Tell us all about your setup. I saw something like this problem several years ago and it was a bug in a certain kernel version I was using (but no version the linuxcnc team has ever distributed had this problem). The PS2 keyboard handling was buggy. When typing I would very rarely get a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng sequence of a certain letter like that. As you might imagine that messed up some jogs, but it wasn't an EMC problem. To the best of my knowledge, the multikey jogging in AXIS has been correct since very early in EMC2 development. There have been several fixes of interaction between mouse and keyboard jogging, however (for instance: hold one arrow key, and while it is down, click a different X/Y/Z radio button, then release the arrow). I doubt you are doing anything like this but I am only guessing because you haven't given much information. (and I think even these crazy things are fixed, today) Whatever problem you are having is not the same as the (very real) incorrect multi-key behavior of TkEMC in old versions of EMC1. I remember it too, but the code you are running is entirely different. Or at least I assume you are using AXIS? What is your OS and kernel version? Is your keyboard USB or PS2? Have you tried a different keyboard? When it happens, does it jog for a while extra and then stop, or does it go forever? How fast is your computer? Is the GUI fairly responsive or is it generally sluggish to respond to things? Do you have a base period configured and if so what is it? Please tell us MUCH more about your setup and precisely what you are doing and seeing.
