Public bug reported:
Some background information:
The Thinkpad Edge E220S has one of those ridiculous keyboard designs that
inverts the behaviour of the Fn key with the top row of the keyboard (F1-F12),
i.e. to get an actual F1 keystroke, you need to hold down the F1 key. This
behaviour is configurable in the BIOS. In my case, I have configured it so that
I need to hold the Fn key to access the special functions, but not for the
actual F1-12 keypresses.
Problem:
After a resume from suspend-to-RAM, the behaviour of the keyboard reverts to
the factory setting, i.e. Fn key required to be held down to get the F1-12
keypresses. I reckon this is either due to a broken BIOS or perhaps something
that wasn't done to restore the correct behaviour after resume.
Workaround:
Hibernate the machine and resume.
