It's definitely not just a positioning thing - moving the keyboard around can cause the keyboard to stop working, but never to start. The ctrl-alt thing happens even if the keyboard is on a flat, unmoving surface like the floor, and it doesn't work with similar key patterns such as ctrl-shift.
I've noticed that holding down ctrl and alt will bring the focus rectangles back, but they generally disappear as soon as the keys are released. Do X and/or the kernel treat that combination specially? Is there anything else I could provide test to help to solve this problem? On good days, this is annoying; on bad days, it makes the computer unusable. -- Wireless keyboard stops accepting most (but not all) key presses https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305955 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
