Could you check that you have `xset r` enabled? Does any key repeat, if you hold them? Maybe it's window manager behavior like mentioned above, (used for hotkey or hotkey combination for perhaps and grabs the key which would be IMO bad) Anyways sounds weird and can't really pinpoint unless more information is given and what packages did you upgrade. 2011/9/2 Jesse Jaara <jesse.jaara@xxxxxxxxx>: > 02.09.2011 14:43, Jorge Almeida kirjoitti: >> Two days ago I did a one week -due general upgrading.
