Is this a bug? Definitely, the question is where. My guess would be you're suffering from the 'key up events are lost sometimes' bug, which from the evidence we've gathered so far seems to be somewhere in the kernel input layer. It seems to affect powerpc users mostly (are you still using such a machine), but I think I've seen reports about it on x86 as well. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast| http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer

In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, add this: Section "ServerLayout" [...] Option "DontZap" "true" EndSection For further information, read xorg.conf manpage.
