Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Ubuntu thinks Enter/Return key is being held in depressed position

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Device in question is Asus EP121 slate and has Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  installed. Device is touchscreen and has no keyboard/mouse attached.
  Upon logging into Unity desktop, Ubuntu acts as if the Enter/Return
  key is being pressed and held. Tapping the Ubuntu logo to open the
  unity dashboard results in hundreds of instances of Home folder being
  opened until i either manually restart or the computer crashes.
  Opening terminal window is pointless because enter is being "held" and
  it just returns to a new line without being able to type anything.
  Opening any application results in whatever the default button (if
  any) being depressed by Enter.

  Ubuntu behaves fine if you physically connect a keyboard and press the
  enter button. Software updates current as of 12/25/2012. No
  proprietary drivers are found for the system.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  2) The version of the package you are using: na
  3) What you expected to happen: to be able to use Ubuntu on touch based x64 computer
  4) What happened instead: unless physical keyboard/mouse is available, OS is useless on EP121
