Public bug reported: Randomly while typing my keyboard will stick and repeat the last letter typed until I hit another key to "unstick" it. This is a common occurring happening every few minutes.
It does not seem to matter what application I'm currently working in. I've experienced it in gnome-terminal, evolution, even in Nautilus while in the middle of changing a file's name. In fact it just happened to me as I typed this report. It doesn't seem to be related to current CPU workload or any other obvious indicator. I'm running Natty beta. I had this same laptop (with the same external USB keyboard) running Ubuntu 10.10 without this issue, so I don't believe it to be hardware related.
