Sorry, short tap on the stuck shift key doesn't work for me - and the amount of time the key is actually stuck varies from a few seconds to roughly half a minute; in addition to that only the left key seems to be affected, which I use more freuqently than the right key. I just spent a few minutes trying to provoke a stuck right shift key, but it didn't happen.
On my laptop however everything works fine - in case it is related to the drivers, here's a list of involved hardware and drivers: Desktop (shift key gets stuck) - kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP; i686; 32bit - gfx-card: nvidia G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] - driver: nvidia proprietary, 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 Laptop (no stuck keys) - kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP; i686; 32bit - gfx-card: nvidia G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] - driver: nvidia proprietary, 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 Since my update to 10.04 several weeks ago I updated the kernel several times on both machines (and propably also the gfx drivers) which made no difference at all. -- shift key get stuck randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
