Just moved to 16.04 lts and experiencing a similar problem. "[[C^" echoes continuously in all VTs, but not Terminal. Another manifestation is selecting the calendar and revised volume control starts a focus problem with the mouse cursor jumping multiple times at the top of the Unity Screen, which to seems to set off the character echoing problem in the VTs. After the problem with the mouse cursor the Settings Control and Calendar no longer function and normal shutdown is not possible because of the characters echoing to the VTs. I turned in a Bug Report via Lauchpad on that issue. Hardware is old fashioned PS2 Keyboard and mouse on a ASUS Legacy Intel Box. No such issues ever with 12.04 lts or 14.04 lts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580732 Title: wireless keyboard - repeating characters unattended Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When doing nothing at all, the screen (eg an editor, mail message, terminal etc) will start displaying '5' rapidly across the screen. I am a recent ubuntu 16.04 user - a fresh install "Linux TimPassingham 4.4.0-22-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 5 16:53:32 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" I was previously on 14.04 and had no such issues. My keyboard is a Logitech wireless MK700/710. There is nothing wrong with it in normal running, nor when using windows (dual-booted). I am not alone, and it is the same key (5) for others seeing this issue.
