Public bug reported:
Sometimes, keystrokes such as Cursor-Left get repeated one time too
often. E.g., when I have this text:
aaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbb|
where my cursor is "|", when I press the left arrow on the keyboard and
stop pressing it between "a" and "b", the cursor halts there (as
expected). About half a second later, it steps to the left once more.
This can be observed in different applications, e.g. in gedit and in vim
running in guake. As I'm writing this, it does not seem to be present in
chromium. The behaviour is not reliable, it seems to depend on the exact
timing of the key up event.
This is a regression, as the problem started with an upgrade to precise.
