I had/have this bug with a wired slim Apple Keyboard (the new mode at apple.com/keyboard), more in Gutsy than in Hardy. It's random and at worst I can end up with a page of the last character typed or a very slow system.
I've looked on the Apple support forums and have only come up with a few vague links. It seems that *some* Apple keyboards are doing this and it hard to pin down the reasons. I haven't been able to duplicate it with any logs or feedback (like using xev). It's annoying when it happens and can be quite dangerous - for instance I hit Ctrl-T in Firefox which has resulted in about a bazillion tabs opening up, slowing the system. It stops of it's own accord or I bang away at the keyboard or mouse (usb) to stop it (and not sure if that works either). I think it can be one of these: * some design flaw causing keys to stay stuck down * keyup event not being sent by keyboard now and then * a faulty keyboard Sorry to not help any more than that... but it is happening less in Hardy than was in Gutsy. -- Keyboard broken after dist-upgrade to hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
