Title:
  suddenly tabulator-key stops working normally

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04
  xserver-xorg: 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1

  I don't know how to trigger this bug, but I have seen it now more than
  ten times.

  "Suddenly" = I can't figure pattern how this triggers. Sometimes it
  happens when computer just idles

  'stops working normally' = tab-key alone doesn't do anything.

  --
  When tab-key is working normally, xev reports:

  KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
      root 0x290, subw 0x0, time 2088488, (164,-6), root:(1515,797),
      state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (09) " "
      XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (09) " "
      XFilterEvent returns: False

  KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,

      XFilterEvent returns: False

  And behaviour is like xev reports: tab pressed alone doesn't do anything, but with any modifier it works as expected:
  alt+tab = change window
  shift+tab = previous element (e.g. fields in browser)
  ctrl+tab = change tab (e.g. in firefox)

  -----
  I have ~/.Xmodmap and it contains line:
  keycode 23 = Tab ISO_Left_Tab Tab ISO_Left_Tab Tab ISO_Left_Tab

  Running xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap will not fix.

  ---
  Attaching new usb-keyboard doesn't help.
  ---
  Reboot helps.
  Restarting xorg helps.
  ---
  Changing to virtual terminal -> tab is working. But after returning to xorg, tab is still broken.
