Public bug reported: When using the keyboard extensively e.g. with control sequences like in vim the x-server stops processing keyevents while you can hear the sound which indicates a gtk form denying invalid keyboard input. The mouse still works while this happens and if you can reach the logout button it starts working again after login.
