Comment 243 for bug 124406

I'm getting a similar bug in Jaunty only. I just installed Jaunty for the first time (new linux user) a few weeks ago...had this problem. Reinstalled Hardy, the problem went away. Upgraded tooooooooooo Ibex, and the problem stayed away. Now I've upgraded ttttttttttto (see?) Jaunty again and the problem is back. This has been consistent regardless of what program I am typing in (including terminal and login screen).

I'm using a compal IFL90 notebook (Sager NP2090, which is the same thing) with a USB mouse plugged in (athough I can replicate the problem without the mouse plugged in). It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an GeForce 8600 M GT video card.

Turning off key repeat fixes some of the problem, but I still get dropped keypresses.

I think I can replicate it by touching the touchpad while typing fast, and I can't seem to replicate it when I make a conscious effort not to touch the touchpad.

Disabling the touchpad through system>preferences>mouse does not seem to fix the problem and it still seems to happen while touchiiiiiiiiiing the touchpad (even though, it doesn't actually move the mouse).

I also have not been able to replicate while avoiding the touchpad and moving the mouse while typing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
