Bug 434434

SUMMARY:

Apparently Random or Intermittent
It's as if someone is holding down the keyboard key itself indefinately

At first one might think its an actual issue with the keyboard itself, like a sticky Key on the Keyboard
But, i have used 4 different keyboards
The odds are un-likely to be the exact same keys on all four of them being faulty or sticky - thats statistically unlikely imo

Known instances so far:

Intermittent lower case j
Intermittent space bar
Intermittent 5
Intermittent Enter/Carriage return


First keyboard was a PS/2 one
Second Keyboard was a USB one
Third Keyboard was a USB one
Fourth keyboard is as PS/2 one


STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Problem is Intermittant


OBSERVED RESULT:

One can see this clearly if one is in a notepad like kate
This is not just something annoying that happens in text input fields

This interferes with any/all apps i have focus upon

Once the issue starts, disconnecting the keyboard makes no difference
