In answer to post 310, Bryce, I'm sorry but there's a serious
misunderstanding of the issue in your post.

You state "hitting a key a second time (to fire a new up-key signal)
makes things work."

This is not the case for everyone affected, or for every instance of the
bug. The original poster, and post 121, refer to subsequent keypresses
and their keydown events being ignored completely by the system. Post 40
mentions the need to "furiously" press another key several times to get
the system to recognise it and stop the repeats.

In my case, the behaviour of the bug has varied as I've gone through
different distros; possibly not behaving consistently even in identical
distros (since my workaround for the past two-and-a-half years has been
to go back to Hardy Heron, this hasn't really been put to the test.)
