(Get the code!)
This is still present for me in Jaunty.
Unless the problem that Harvey and I are seeing is different (which seems very unlikely; both of us have Inspiron 1420s, both of us see the problem only with swapcaps, and both of us see the same symptoms: a key-up event for some regular key does not make it up out of evdev, making xorg think that the key is still down -- but the kernel knows that the key is up, as it does not generate auto-repeat events, and the problem does not thus "show up" on the console, where key repeats come from kernel-generated autorepeat events rather than the key behing held down), I expect that the problem is actually still present for Harvey too.
