I wanted to inform that I blacklisted i2c_hid, issued an initramfs update, and I ended up not being able to boot. I am not sure what else can be done. For the time being, I guess I will live with this bug and hope it will be solved soon. Just for your information, I tried Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 and I didn't have this issue at all. Fedora 23 and Debian Stretch currently both have this problem. Best Regards
