 Hi Michi,

  My guess would be that this is a touch input problem, rather than a
keyboard specific problem but that it's just more visible in the
keyboard because that's one of the only things that supports
multitouch. To verify that hypothesis could you try installing the
Finger Painting app from the store and see if multiple lines appear
when you try drawing with a single finger?

 If so, that'd definitely suggest some sort of (presumably hardware?)
issue in the touch detection itself.

Thanks,
 Mike
