This can happen also due to a faulty touchscreen (or driver).

Possible debugging strategy: Try "xev" in order to see if events are emitted, kill plasma-keyboardcontainer (CTRL+ESC), and see if the event flood persists

Did you find a way to reliably reproduce this problem?

its on meego and i can reproduce it every time.

Is it using Maliit on Meego, or the Plasmaboard? (The keyboard that is shipped with Plasma in kdeplasma-addons?)
