[Bug 525446] [NEW] typing () followed by enter causes x.org to hang

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Running lucid with 2.6.31 karmic kernel on lenovo sl300, (higher gives me suspend problems)
xorg-edgers intel driver

Very odd, I'm not an idiot, I swear.  I was trying to type "class
wut(1): " in a python interpreter, hit enter, and X hung.  Then I kept
rebooting and trying it with ":", worked fine. "):" fine, "1):" fine,
"(1):" broken, "(1)" broken, "(1" fine.  "()" broken.  I don't even know
how this is possible.  Tried it with multiple kernels, and all of a
sudden it's not happening after 5 or so reboots.  I couldn't switch to a
VT or restart without holding the power button, yet system was actually
not hung (saw sparse disk i/o) , just X server.

Works fine in any VT.

I'm also running xorg-edgers intel driver...

My speculation is some weird problem with the xorg keyboard driver?
