In my view, I don't think they are very similar - 196277 is consistently
reproducible, relates to not being able to switch keyboard layouts using
the shortcut keys when autoboot is enabled, and doesn't say that the
shift/ctrl keys stop working completely.
On the other hand, this bug occcurs randomly (although I do find it can
be reproduced with the sequence that BassKozz reported), I don't think
it is related to at all to autologin, and when it happens, the
shift/ctrl/alt keys stop working completely for *all* keys.
Another difference is that when it happens, typing keys in other
applications (eg the keyboard layout window) usually causes them to
crash and I don't think anyone in 196277 has seen that problem.
