Absolutely. However, nq said: "When this occurs, I am unable to type in any new applications that is launched. It automatically crashes/closes the application regardless of the key I press. Odd thing for me is any existing application that is already open before this occurs will not crash or close..." Which doesn't sound to me like "a key keeps repeating". > And it's still all over my system. Seriously though, doesn't that MO > look a lot like your description?

Well, the xserver-xorg-core-2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu6 upload fixed this problem for me. Can you check that you're actually using this version of the package - from the Ubuntu repositories? (apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core should print this info out). -- Keys get "stuck" down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 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
