I can confirm this bug with 32 bit 8.10 upgraded from 7.10 (iteratively
upgraded from 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10) on a HP Pavilion ZV6233nr.
The multimedia keys did work properly in 7.10. I do not know if they
would have worked in 8.04.
RE: Elias, these are not separate issues. Panels & apps work fine until
MM key is pressed (either vol up/down or mute). Then behavior as
described and Panels & some apps cease accepting mouse clicks.
It seems that MM key driver (where ever that is) is repeatedly sending
volume up/down events, even though MM key was released.
The only way I have found to "reset" the problem (other than cold boot)
is Alt-Ctrl-Del then logout and re-login.
This issue is a major inconvenience. While volume can be adjusted via
GUI normally, forgetting not to use MM keys requires logout/in for
system to operate usably again.
