Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 18.04 the keys of my Thinkpad E480 are hanging very often. Then, instead of pressed once, the key seems to be not released and pressed continuously until another key is pressed. I have described the behavior in more detail under https://askubuntu.com/questions/1051508 /hanging-keys-under-ubuntu-18-04.
It does not occur when I boot in Windows or Ubuntu 16.04, so it is not related to the hardware. It does not occur when I plug in an external keyboard, so it is not related to general Ubuntu keyboard settings. It does not occur when the power cable (USB-C) is unplugged, only when t is plugged in. /var/log/syslog logs the following when the cable is plugged in: "kernel: [ 9821.899727] thinkpad_acpi: EC reports that Thermal Table has changed" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic 4.15.0-32.35 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-32.35-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-32-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ludwig 1919 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Aug 19 00:21:56 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-02 (108 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 5986:2113 Acer, Inc Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c046 Logitech, Inc.
