[Bug 221264] Re: Keyboard broken after dist-upgrade to hardy

[James]

I had/have this bug with a wired slim Apple Keyboard (the new mode at
apple.com/keyboard), more in Gutsy than in Hardy. It's random and at
worst I can end up with a page of the last character typed or a very
slow system.

I've looked on the Apple support forums and have only come up with a few
vague links. It seems that *some* Apple keyboards are doing this and it
hard to pin down the reasons. I haven't been able to duplicate it with
any logs or feedback (like using xev). It's annoying when it happens and
can be quite dangerous - for instance I hit Ctrl-T in Firefox which has
resulted in about a bazillion tabs opening up, slowing the system. It
stops of it's own accord or I bang away at the keyboard or mouse (usb)
to stop it (and not sure if that works either).

I think it can be one of these:
* some design flaw causing keys to stay stuck down
* keyup event not being sent by keyboard now and then
* a faulty keyboard

Sorry to not help any more than that... but it is happening less in
Hardy than was in Gutsy.
