Bug Description
This is a long standing issue with the keyboard, no directly related to a specific layout. Sensitivity on the left hand side appears to be suspect. On the keyboard, and in some web apps, buttons etc on the left seem to be hard to press.
'1', 'q' on an English layout, 'a' on a French layout, or with predictive text, words on the very edge (left) take a few tries before begin able to select it.
