I also had this exact bug. No modifiers, Firefox crashing on keyboard input. Running setxkbmap worked for me, so I setup a shortcut to run it with the mouse whenever the modifiers went crazy.
But I recently uninstalled VMware Tools from my guest OS (winxp) and reinstalled using the image that comes with vmware-server (VM->Install VMware Tools). Since then I haven't seen the issue again. Of note: I am using an old vmware image that I built with an older version of VMware (and Tools). -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
