Dear Chris,

Thank you for responding! I hadn't noticed the problem in any other applications, but with your question, I found out that it does the same in GEdit. I suppose that means it's not OOo's problem. If you could still help me I would love that!
(And as I type this, I see it does the same if I highlight this email in Firefox.

Thanks,
Glenn

Dear Launchpad & OOo folks,
Lovely new version of OOo Writer. Thank you.

I have a single problem, a strange one:
When using the keyboard to highlight, for instance, when I hold down shift and then the arrow keys:
   At an unpredictable rate, when the movement starts repeating (moving faster), the arrow key changes to a number, always either 4 (more common) or 6 (less common.) The result is that what I have highlighted is rewritten to a 4 or 6 or series thereof.
   Quickly thereafter, my control key turns into a sticky key, such that any arrow or scroll-wheel or key action functions as if CTRL is depressed. Pressing CTRL a few times turns that back off.
    This is inconvenient because when editing, it's easy to replace text that I wished only to embolden, italicize, or underline can turn into 4s & 6s, and if I do notice, it's hard to get back because CTRL is faux-depressed.

I would love an update when this is fixed. I believe you know, but I'm running a Vaio with no other problems. OO2.4 didn't have this bug. I'll be updating daily!

I you have questions, please email. Thank you much for your community work. My system & my work are faster because of you all.

Glenn,

I think this must either be a Xorg or kernel bug so I am reassigning this bug to our Xorg maintainer.

Thanks,

Chris

Does this still happen on Jaunty? Did it used to happen on Hardy or is this a regression?

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Dear Bryce,
I know you're busy, but I'm curious: why didn't anyone respond to the bug? Was it left unassigned?
I'll be happy to file it again. I do update Ubuntu every day and have noticed no improvement. I'll try the latest full release as soon as it changes. Thank you for your help and for your note.
Glenn

Thank you very much.  I'm sorry that I didn't see your question last month.  I thought it would email me.
One further point: This happens either exclusively or almost exclusively when my Vaio is unplugged & on battery.

Quite simply, it's as you said - we're really busy. We have over 1500
X.org bugs, and it's hard to get to every single one. I typically focus
my time on bug reports that are known to affect the current development
version, and that already have all the necessary files attached.

To help people get bugs up to a reviewable state, I've created some
scripts to auto-respond and ask for files, request users test, etc.
In fact, my comment #6 was from one of these scripts. If the request
goes unanswered, then the bug is automatically closed as expired after
30 days.

Many bugs, especially keyboard and mouse bugs, got fixed automatically
when we pulled new code from upstream for Jaunty. The path a bug takes
is different if it is still in the development version, vs. if it's
fixed there, so we wait on putting time into a bug until we know what
path it needs to go.

Unfortunately, given that Jaunty is nearly released, if you find it is
solved there, we probably wouldn't bother to backport the fix to
Intrepid at this point, we'd just suggest people upgrade. Backporting
fixes is pretty time intensive.

If by chance you find the issue still exists in Jaunty, the next step
for us would be to forward the bug upstream. You are welcome to bypass
us entirely, and file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org. If
you then give us the bug id#, we can track it and pull in the fix to
Karmic (and *maybe* Jaunty if the fix looks safe enough) when it becomes
available.

Dear Bryce,

I appreciate you taking the time to draft such an extensive and detailed response. I gather, despite my present ignorance, that the Xorg algorithms are switching to ones called Jaunty, or if I missed that, that there is a chance the bug will not appear in the latest versions. Also, I understand your workload and know that you all must prioritize these bugs. Its not exactly a lethal problem! For now, I will of course not bypass you all to Freedesktop but will rather wait and see what happens. I don't mind to join the queue, particularly since I'm only at present contributing to bug lists and mostly just enjoying the ease of Ubuntu.

Best,
Glenn
