[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat

 

To me, this happens as well, using Lucid Lynx 64 bit. Even if the
PS/2-keyboard is unplugged, the key which decided to get stuck keeps
repeating.

What I would like to point out:

It only happens when tpying in forms displayed of Firefox (so NOT during
any other application of Ubuntu), and then there on certain forms: when
trying to write an email in Outlook 2010 webmail, or when writing a
comment on the launchpad page, the key repeating error almost
reroducably happens.(This is why I needed to write this mail in Gedit
and copy it conscutively  into launchpad).

On the contrary, it does e.g. not happen in GMail - so maybe there is an
interference between some applications and firefox and Ubuntu.

Despite I turned off the repetition in the preferences -> Keyboard
settings -> General -> Repeat keystrokes when being pressed, the
keyboard keeps stuck in the Firefox forms as mentioned above.

My Hardware:

Asus P7P55D 
Intel i5 750
8GB RAM
ATI HD 4600
SATA-HDDs
USB-Logitech Mouse
PS/2 Fujitsu Siemens Keyboard
Xonard D2X Soundcard
Pinnacle PCI TV Card
