Bug Description
Sometimes, a single key press in OSK causes multiple keys to appear.
It is hard to reproduce, but here is what I just did that caused it:
* I installed with --wipe brand new rtm krillin image 133.
* In Welcome Wizard, I selected English as my language and completed to normal shell.
* in System Settings > Languages, I selected Spanish as display language, which caused a reboot
* On reboot, I entered the scopes "dashboard" (not the "dashboard" scope, but the place where you see Favorites v All and a search field)
* I tapped the search field, which display the OSK. (Note, the keyboard layout is still English.)
* In OSK, I tapped the globe key to switch layouts and chose Spanish
Now, I got weird double keys on single presses. Bad enough to be unusable.
However, after switch OSK back to English and back to spanish I don't get them, so I wonder whether it has to do with switching the system's runtime locale.

Just noting that this could be a mir bug or the touch driver being too sensitive sometimes. I have seen these symptoms and more without changing any settings.
