Can anyone please provide feedback on whether the following issue is the same bug or a different bug?
On my Eee, Ubuntu Desktop, Hardy, latest updates:
- keyboard model = generic 104-key (same happens with 105-key)
- layout = US (I had an international layout too, but even with US as the only layout left, this happens)
- behavior = On boot, the keyboard works fine. At some point, after using just Firefox 3b5, Pidgin 2.4.1, the system preferences, and the terminal, the "w" key of all keys suddenly begins to behave like a dead key. Shift-W produces a character, and all keyboard shortcuts using w continue to work as well, but the only way to produce a lower-case w is to use AltGr-w. The behavior disappears on reboot and then recurs at some later time. Switching keyboard layouts from the system preference window does not impact the behavior, oddly, although the layout change does "take."
Same bug or different bug? Thank you!
