Tobi Excuse both my ignorance and poor communication ability. I prefer using the latest stable version, which I expect be the case when I resort to the PPA I am presently using. Now, I was not aware that those revisions are still considered unstable. So, I expected (wrongly, I see) that they would be incorporated into the stable version.
So, I will stay with the stable version and wait until the changes are made available for general use. Meanwhile, I'll keep using the workaround for the keyboard locking issue.
