Still not able to reproduce this with 4.6 kernel series. It is very likely that this issue is already fixed there. Any chance this could be backported to the xenial kernel as this is an LTS release?

It mostly happens when I leave the computer alone for some time, but sometimes also just during regular usage. It seems that this is a Linux specific issue as no one is complaining about this issue under Windows, but a couple of people are complaining for different versions of Ubuntu. It is always 5 and WladyXX3740 claims on the Logitech forum that: "happens on Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, does not happen on Ubuntu 15.04, probably kernel related." Here is where most of the people are complaining: https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/Ubuntu-15-10-and-K520-key-5-automatically-pressed-resulting-in/td-p/1488639 I discovered that this is related to my Logitech keyboard by running this command: xinput test-xi2 --root Here is the device list: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech K520 id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech M310/M310t id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ DELL Wireless hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] And some extract from the output when this happens: EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 EVENT type 12 (PropertyEvent) property: 308 'Synaptics Off' changed: modified EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: repeat root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: repeat root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: repeat root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: repeat root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 EVENT type 2 (KeyPress) device: 10 (10) detail: 14 flags: repeat root: 449.00/427.00 event: 449.00/427.00 buttons: modifiers: locked 0x10 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0x10 group: locked 0 latched 0 base 0 effective: 0 valuators: windows: root 0xf6 event 0xf6 child 0x36000f8 ...
