** Summary changed: - Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty) + Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)
** Description changed: Keyboard keys such as the arrows, Alt-F4, PageUp/PageDown, etc. often get 'stuck' and continue being 'clicked' even after they are physically released. For example when clicking Alt-F4, sometimes it gets stuck so all the windows are closed instead of just one. My configuration is Feisty + Xgl + Compiz Fusion. My previous configuration was Edgy + Xgl + Beryl, where this didn't happen. Others have reported the same problem without using either Xgl or Compiz. - The Compiz Fusion folks said this is a well-known Xgl problem, but I - couldn't find supporting evidence for that. - The keyboard itself isn't the problem. When dual-booting to Windows, everything works fine. Also, the problem happens with two different keyboards (internal laptop, external USB). + My best guess is that the problem occurs at time of high system load. + Somehow during these times the key-release signal gets lost and the key- + press is repeated indefinitely. This happens more often with Compiz + configurations because Compiz tends to increase system load. It also + happens more often with power-hungry apps like Firefox and Acrobat + Reader for similar reasons. + See also this forum thread for other people with the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432057 -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
