Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
When I press the FN key with the down arrow key to reduce screen
brightness, my keyboard stops responding except for the screen
brightness and volume controls.
Menus also stop working (no drop down happens if I click on the menu)
and the right-mouse button stops working. I can bring windows to the
front by clicking on them but I can't move them. The cursor in gnome-
terminal remains is displayed as the 'not in focus' symbol (ie an empty
box instead of a solid flashing box) even if I click on its window.
If I just press the FN and up arrow key, the keyboard continues working
afterwards, but once I have pressed the down arrow key to reduce the
brightness, the keyboard stops working normally.
The only way I have found to fix this is to restart the X session,
either by hard-rebooting or by logging in remotely via ssh and killing
the Xorg process.
