I am using 32 bit system, Ubuntu 10.10 Beta, running latest updates experiencing problem with keyboard layout.
I am using 2 keyboard layout languages, Russian and English, and after a while (A hour or two), keyboard layout becomes messed up, by messed up i mean when i try to type for example on english Hello World, i get the mix of characters like this - "Руllщ Цorld", i managed to figure out that this happens randomly for every letter, for example this is the output of holding the A key for few seconds - "фaaaaaфффaфффaффaaaффффaaaфaaффффффaaaa". The problem is that when this problem occurs, there is no way i can switch keyboard layout. I tried removing them and adding them again, no luck. The only workaround is to log out and log in again.
I find this pretty annoying as this problem occurs with me several times a day.

Up, still experiencing this problem running latest updates. Makes the system almost unusable with bugs like this appearing every hour and forcing me to log out. When computer enters screensaver, i can notice that the layout keeps changing many many times (Like 20 times in a second).
