Some keys are not released when used in combination with Fn-key (repeating infinitely)

[Riki Villalba]

When you press a key which has a second function (eg K), then the Fn key, then release the K and then Fn is released and is printed continuously until you press another key.
In my case, this is particularly annoying when using the '/' that is the 2nd function of '0' key.
You may repeat this bug via the following sequence in half second intervals:
-Press (and hold) a key wich have 2nd function (another character)
-Press (and hold) Fn
-Release the first key
-Release -fn-key.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Kubuntu Jaunty amd64

I suspect a bug in the kernel input layer.

Hi Ricardo,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 376315

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
