Ah, that explains things a bit better. What seems to be happening is on your particular model it's probably only catching a key press and not a release (so it's getting stuck). Try to add a synthesized release event using systemd. Basically you add an entry to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb with a bang. If it fixes the problem, then an issue should be filed at systemd upstream to fix this on your particular model (via that DMI data you shared earlier). It would only be applied to your model then. _______________________________________________ Linux-Desktops mailing list Linux-Desktops@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-desktops Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
