I have just seen this issue again on the first boot after reflashing with --bootstrap. The first time this becomes noticeable is when entering the network password during the setup wizard.
I got the multiple character problem while the phone was plugged into my Mac laptop. The laptop is plugged into the power point using the two- prong adapter attached to the charging brick, not the three-prong cable, meaning that the laptop isn't grounded. There are dozens and dozens of reports of people getting mild tickling from their laptop case when plugged in without a grounded cable. Here is one example: http://superuser.com/questions/461898/earthing-is-it-important-for- laptops Apparently, it is normal for up to half the mains voltage to be on the case.(I can feel this when I'm using my laptop with bare feet and touch the edge of my case with my forearms while typing. There is a mild tingling sensation.) Anyway, the instant I unplugged the phone from the laptop, the multiple character problem went away. I'll try to reproduce once more, but this time unplugging the laptop from the power supply, instead of pulling the USB cable. With both laptop and phone floating, I'd expect the issue to go away. If so, I think we can confidently say that this is a hardware problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386767 Title: single tap causes many letters sometimes Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes, a single key press in OSK causes multiple keys to appear. It is hard to reproduce, but here is what I just did that caused it: * I installed with --wipe brand new rtm krillin image 133. * In Welcome Wizard, I selected English as my language and completed to normal shell. * in System Settings > Languages, I selected Spanish as display language, which caused a reboot * On reboot, I entered the scopes "dashboard" (not the "dashboard" scope, but the place where you see Favorites v All and a search field) * I tapped the search field, which display the OSK. (Note, the keyboard layout is still English.) * In OSK, I tapped the globe key to switch layouts and chose Spanish Now, I got weird double keys on single presses. Bad enough to be unusable. However, after switch OSK back to English and back to spanish I don't get them, so I wonder whether it has to do with switching the system's runtime locale.
