Public bug reported:

I have found the repeat-key and stuck-key issue in different bug-reports but no working solution.
My problem is, that sometimes a key is stuck within software and the character is printed in the rate configuredddddddd for the keyboard.

catch of KeyPress event, KeyRelease event sequence with "l" with xev, "f" is pressed to stop sequence:
