Public bug reported:
The Left Control key of my keyboard stopped working properly after the
upgrade to bionic.
This is definitely a software problem, as I've been able to get it
working by disabling and then re-enabling the 'Pointer location' switch
in the Gnome Tweak Tool.
The behaviour is that when the button is pressed, it does not act like I
would expect (for example, the Ctrl-Tab shortcut in web browsers stops
working, or ^C in a terminal window), but instead causes the window to
lose focus. (It's still on top, just not 'active')
I have no idea which package this should be filed against, and I've no
idea what the pathway is for keyboard-related bugs.
Some similar problems seem to have been reported on some ASUS laptops -
but I'm using a custom desktop PC and have never had issues before.
I am running Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic).
