Cruncher and wilderjds,

Cruncher:

The bug (#213669) I experience is not as described here, the repeating does not stop by itself. It is also not similar to #194214, in that I cannot reproduce those problems. When I experience the bug, simply hitting any other key after the repeats begins, stops the repeats.

I am running 2.6.24-16-generic and still experience the repeat bug. I do not believe my specific bug is this one, but Timo Aaltonen has deemed it a duplicate.

wilderjds:

I only get stuck repeat keys when using the Caps Lock key, holding it down then pressing another key. The second key pressed will stick frequently but not all the time.

The bug isn't triggered by cpufreq changes in my case. It happily causes repeats when both processors are stable at the low freq. And

I am able to reproduce the stuck repeats in a minimal X environment (i.e. no compiz, window manager, etc.)
