On the first level i try to play but the character is going to the left when I'm not pressing any key. If i press space jump works.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

I see that this has been confirmed by multiple people. I tried to check whether this issue was still present, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results. When testing on a virtual machine through Virtualbox, the character got stuck running left and the jump key seemed to be the only one registered. However, outside of a virtual machine, the game seems to work as expected (tested on 17.04). I'm therefore not sure how to proceed with this issue.

Were the initial reports made from virtual machines, or can someone trigger it on real hardware as well? I suppose there might be some difference in the input, but I am not sure how to debug that further.
