Depends on the seat design I think, not as much help in this 2011 Ford as it was in the 99 GMC. This Ford seat has more articulation available and that helps too. Getting on is not for wimps! ================================= But this "testing" install of stretch has got to have a new kernel, I just lost the keyboard again, same model keyboard I use on darned near everything around here, but this is yet another different copy. So please please build another kernel to replace this trouble maker. I do the same thing, but not as often, on the other "testing" install on the 6040 gantry.
This needs fixed! Consider what might happen if it occurred while running the machine to make something, it has happened on the 6040 twice, but the last keyup event did register before it stopped responding to the keyboard. Using the mouse to logout, then restart, fixes it for 2 to 4 days. I was going to show the 6040 off to a neighbor a few days ago, walked over to it and hit the space bar to wake it up, zip, but the mouse woke it up and I was able to restart it with the mouse. But I have had the mouse lose it all too on these two machines. Then I'm using the front panel reset button to restart it. Thats definitely poor form.
