Seems to work, so here's how to reproduce. Notice that this will disable
the screensaver pinging of tvtime, so the screen saver can turn on if
you leave the machine. This should work in all Debian-based distros
(Ubuntu included) where the shift key is stuck while watching tvtime

I think that you were missing a build dependency (xtest), and it left out the
part that was causing the trouble.
I now modified the source code, and am happy to report that I probably found
the definitive solution. I'll post a followup after some testing in a few hours
with the details.

Vladimir, simply recompiling tvtime under Debian still produces the
error. Did you modify the source in any way?

That is very strange, can you explain how is that different than
downloading the precompiled binary?
How did you install dependencies for the build? Maybe you are missing a
dependency and thus the build leaves out something...? I find it hard to
understand how can this work... I used apt-get

Compiling TVTime from source (which is a chore in itself) has resolved
the issue for me. No more keyboard mapping events reported by xev and no
more sticky Shift_L issues. I don't know if that resolves all your
reported issues, but it seems to have resolved mine.

note of when this happens, and not once in that time has it happened

Confirmed, I've been watching this too, and it only happens when tvtime

I did try an older version of tvtime, but maybe not old enough... I'll
maybe try something older and then report back. I'd hate to leave tvtime
since it's such a great tv app.

Is it by any chance possible that either xorg just recently added the

something related to this extension behaves differently since a few
months?
Great, TV-card and tvtime installed, here too. I use the v4l drivers

Did anyone checked already, if tvtime needs to be running to cause the

I am experiencing the same annoying bug - after upgrading my desktop to Ubuntu

Have had this on my thinkpad for several releases, now lately on my
64-bit 10.04 (earlier I used 32-bit). I don't know if this helps, but
most of the times (not all) a single quick tap on the (left) shift key
gets me out of the shift key pressed state.

shift key get stuck randomly
Sorry, short tap on the stuck shift key doesn't work for me - and the
amount of time the key is actually stuck varies from a few seconds to
roughly half a minute; in addition to that only the left key seems to be
affected, which I use more freuqently than the right key. I just spent a
few minutes
Single tap only works after switching to a text console and back.
It's also very hard to intentionally replicate the thing, it happens
randomly while writing code which is very annoying.

I'm using Debian squeeze now, and the same bug happens on the same hardware.
Note that it only happens on my desktop machine, my laptop doesn't show the
symptomps (even with the same USB keyboard), though also having Ubuntu 10.04.
For me it only happens with shift, other keys seem immune to it.
I'd like to modify my above comment because I discovered that the
problem, for me, stems from KeepassX. It doesn't happen randomly, but
only after the use of the global auto-type shortcut in KeepassX. If
others are not using KeepassX, perhaps it is caused by whatever function
KeepassX uses for

you suffer from this bug:
