This happens for me occasionally as well. I use the web browser a lot (Firefox). While I haven't lost "original work" due to this bug, I have lost work in web browsing. As mentioned above, I will use Ctrl-w to close a browser tab and many more that I wanted open will close. When using Ctrl-n to open a new window, I will get 20+ windows opened, bringing the system to a grinding slowdown while I frantically tap on keys (Ctrl) to register the keyup to stop the key repeat.

Thanks, all!
