I started having this problem after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty. At that time I was using the default GNOME desktop.
However, the problem disappeared when I installed the kubuntu-desktop package and starting using KDE desktop. I'm not able to reproduce the endless repeat behavior any more with 'xset r off' or by entering VMWare consoles, which both triggered the problem while using GNOME desktop. So I'm wondering if the source of the problem could have something to do with GNOME / GTK. Has anybody observed this problem while using KDE desktop, or can we confirm that it only occurs with GNOME ? -- xset -r causes loss of control of keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367136 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
