A very similar thing happens to me with the volume wheel. Using showkeys in the console reports:
keycode 115 release keycode 115 press keycode 115 release keycode 115 press keycode 115 release keycode 115 press keycode 114 release keycode 114 press keycode 114 release keycode 114 press keycode 114 release keycode 114 press i.e., the wheel send release events *before* press events. The only workaround is to switch to a VC and then back to X. Can anyone suggest a way to disable the darn wheel before I open the laptop and get rid of it? -- X deals badly with keys that fail to send keyup events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/20681 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
