Hi Christopher, This is most definitely *not* a hardware issue, but something with X or Gtk or Unity or Compiz, or something along these lines.
The bug is triggered by a certain key sequence of entering too many digits to Unicode characters. In the resulted state, certain keys (whichever are configured to do something in Unity, e.g. Alt+F2) still work, only the ones that are supposed to deliver letters into applications stop working. There's no way the hardware could know anything about this. Moreover, I've just tried starting "xev" and pressing letters to this. xev properly reports all the keys I press. It's only the "normal" applications on my desktop (gnome-terminal, firefox, the window I get for Alt+F2 etc.) that stop accepting these letter in their input fields. Again, it's impossible that the hardware would properly generate letters for xev but not for firefox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263249 Title: [Samsung NP300E5Z-S07HU] Keyboard stops working after Ctrl+Shift+U followed by 7 alphanumeric keys To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1263249/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
