Hi Kai-Heng, Apparently this issue was a result of installing some (apt) updates and not rebooting. When I rebooted, the problem stopped. So, some installation artifact caused it or some update should have required reboot after installation. Since I cannot repeat the problem now, I don't think it makes sense to try an older kernel. But, my sense tells me this was a problem with the Gnome Shell and not the kernel. No repeating keys were seen in any other application or use, besides the one I reported.
