I have noticed this behavior accross several versions of ubuntu and accross two different laptops and my desktop. I first thought it was a KomodoEdit bug since it always started while in Komodo (but as a developer I spend the majority of my time in either KomodoEdit or Firefox), I then thought that it was a Gnome clipboard manager bug since it always affected copy-and-paste procedures. Since I have also determined that it also affects the virtual consoles as well it no longer thing that it is a gnome centric issue.
I seem to bring it on my doing a lot of control key activity since it is usually proceeded by long periods (a full minute or more) of continuous pressed control key. But I can not reproduce at will. Though possibly not Gnome / X related, I find that restarting X fixes it (crtl+alt+bksp) -- Ctrl-key stuck in Gnome after continued browsing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237604 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
