Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
When working in guest, sometimes I have observed a "stuck key" effect.
Switching back to host (xterm) continues the "stuck key" effect until something
else is pressed.
I believer occasionally the key up event is lost (not seen by the guest).
Pressing additional keys in guest does not unstuck the key. The modifiers
(shift, control etc) works.
If i manage to get "c" stuck, i can generate CTRL-C by just pressing CTRL :-)
The problem surfaced after upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04
I have the same result with xp and linux as guest.
to reproduce reliably :
- install 9.04 workstation
- install vmware workstation 6.2.1
- create vm with 9.04 server (with or without VMWare tools)
- start the vm, logon (make sure it is at the shell prompt or in editor)
- get the focus out of vm but on the vmware window
- press CTRL-G to grab focus
- observe the 'g' filling up the screen
- try CTRL-ALT-F1 to stop it (if you have a second vm CTRL-ALT-LEFT/RIGHT works
as well)
when vm has a gui, you can move the cursor out of the vm window
