Public bug reported:
Yesterday I upgraded from (an up-to-date) Feisty to Gutsy. Since then, quite
often a key release event seems to get lost, so that the system thinks the key
is still pressed and then key repeat usually wreaks havoc.
So far this problem only occured in Opera, but it is most likely not an Opera
bug, since under Feisty I used 9.22-20070716.6 and the problem never occured. I
then upgraded to 9.24-20071015.6feisty1, and the system upgrade then installed
9.24-20071015.6gutsy1. Here the problem occurs.
However, I downgraded now to 9.22-20070716.6 using
opera_9.22-20070716.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb from the Opera site, and the
problem *still* occurs.
More hints:
- Even with ctrl-w (=closing a tab in Opera), the problem occurs, although here
there should be two key releases involved and a ctrl-w key repeat should only
occur if both release events fail simultaneoulsy, correct?
- It is also not a keyboard problem, I tried both a wireless and a standard
keyboard.
Since I heavily rely on keyboard shortcuts in Opera, this problem is
quite unnerving. Please tell me what other info I can give to help
reproducing or isolating this problem.
