I'm now on 11.04.
Decided to switch off autorepeat.
Seems to help - but not a complete cure, because twice now I have had the
keyboard simply stop working.
Again, recovery is by doing a suspend.
Seems I now have two choices for the bug: non-stop repeating keys, or

Had this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.1.
Suspend can get you out of the key repeat, rather than reboot.
Very intermittent. A week can go by without seeing it, sometimes.
Makes internet mail order a bit scary.
Today, I was deleting some files and the del key started to repeat.

When the bug hits, I found I can reclaim my session by doing a suspend,
and then un-suspending.
The bug is still there if I tell Ubuntu that I'm using a Dell keyboard
rather than a generic one.

keyboard starts repeating
Unfortunately the above hack of modifying xorg.conf isn't a solution for 10.4.
After several weeks of joy, the bug struck again.
I was lazily editing a document and leaned on the keyboard, probably
pressing the ctrl or shift key. Bam, the space key started to auto-
repeat. Had to power off.

Pressing a modifier (ctrl or shift) key with another key is needed for

The bug has only appeared after a long editing session or user session.
It also appears to be related to using the shift key or other key
modifier.
I need to amend this.
Today the bug appeared immediately after power on and using firefox. I was
entering data in an online form and ... wham!
I have same problem - but in my case, once the key starts repeating, I can't
stop it.
Any window that gets the focus starts receiving the endless key repeats.
Hitting other keys has no effect. Only the mouse can be used, and I have to
use it to restart the computer.
