[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat

[Paul Sladen]

These are all programs which cause the battery status to be queried.
The battery status is handled by the same chip as the keyboard/mouse
controller in laptop;  and this is buggy in some respect.

In this case, stopping those programs stops battery queries coinciding
with keyboard input.
