Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: billard-gl
While playing billard-gl the spacebar may lock forcing the user to
shutdown using the external power button.

I've manage to reproduce this 3 times, but I don't have the exact
reproduction steps. All 3 instances where after a clean boot of the
system. Seems this happens while playing the game using the spacebar
(instead of middle mouse button), and using the mouse itself just to
aim/look. Maybe going back to the main menu with the mouse while holding
the spacebar will raise the chances of triggering the bug.

After the bug is triggered seems the state of the spacebar is always
down. I cant confirm if the state is purely inverted (down is released
and up is pressed) or if using the spacebar again cycles once between
the released and pressed state (leaving it pressed). Seems more like the
latter.

Closing the game would leave the system unusable as any menu option that
is highlighted would trigger instantly and opening a terminal would
result in spaces being typed continously. I can't switch the the console
using Ctrl+Alt+F1 either.

The problem seems purely software related as unplugging the keyboard
does not fix the problem.
