Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After upgrading to maverick I have an annoying problem. I am using four
keyboard layouts, usage of three of them are indicated by the scroll
lock led. I am using the scroll lock key to switch between them. After
some change between the layouts, something goes crazy and it starts to
cycle between the layouts very quickly without my intent, the led
flashes all the time, and also I can see that pressing the same key
generates different character randomly based on the fact which layout
was active in that moment. I cannot find a solution to stop this action.
The keyboard indicator on the panel shows the primary layout only, not
cycling there. I had the idea to start xev, and I see endless printings
like this
