Public bug reported:
I am very new to Ubuntu, and I am trying to follow the
DebuggingKeyboardDetection on Ubuntu wiki, so I apologize if I am missing any
information or sending a bug report when I needn't! (I have looked and not
found an answer to this problem elsewhere) I have a lenovo g510 laptop that
came pre-installed with windows 8.1, and I have Ubuntu 14.04.1 installed
alongside windows 8.1. The laptop has an 'Accutype' keyboard, if that means
anything. I have not installed any keyboard packages other than what came with
the Ubuntu 14.04.1 installation.
The problem: While typing in my passwords to various accounts, I was finding
that the blinking cursor would suddenly disappear while in the middle of
typing, and thus my password would be cut short. I opened up libre office to
try and get a better idea of what was happening, and it looks like, as I am
typing, my blinking cursor will suddenly jump up to the line above. It seems to
be initiated by the pressing of any letter key—I don't believe it is any one
particular key, and it comes and goes randomly. The problem seemed to subside
for a time after I opened up the languages section and was prompted to install
an update. However, within a day or so, the problem has returned.
