I can confirm this has happened to me too (edgy beta). Somehow this got turned on (no idea how) and it took me two days to work out what was wrong.
Gnome worked fine in failsafe mode, but in normal mode it seemed the keyboard was being ignored. It turns out I just wasn't holding down the keys for the required 1/3 of a second, as that's not exactly normal for typing. -- "slow keys" can turn on surrepitiously & cause confusion. https://launchpad.net/bugs/41427 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
