I too confirm this problem on Hardy 8.04 with all updates as of today. I am using vmware server 1 (running Windows XP in it). Within vmware, everything is fine.
My guess is that this bug is somehow vmware related, but it also has to do with Ubuntu 8.04 or its components (X, Gnome, Compiz?). I used vmware ratherly intensive in all previous Ubuntu versions and never had similar problems. Even though vmware certainly is no supported part of Ubuntu, I consider this bug -- whereever it is -- serious. -- [hardy] keyboard modifiers randomly forgotten https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190934 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
