I get the same thing without any special load. System would work fine
for hours and then input would start bugging.
It translates into floods of keystrokes, or eaten keystrokes, or
keystrokes being fed to apps out of order. Requires a system reboot to
fix.
There is a serious bug somewhere in libinput WRT input queue
management (priorization, ordering, and press/release detection).
I use Logitech wireless keyboards and mice with the bluetooth usb
dongle. Don't know if that's your case too.
Regards,
I don't think it's a libinput problem. I was talking with Alex about
this a while back, and if I remember correctly, he thinks it's a Wayland
protocol flaw: basically there's no way for the compositor to tell the
difference between "the key is being pressed for a long time" and "the
computer is under such heavy load that the keypress end event hasn't
arrived from the client yet". Of course it's a bit more complicated than
that, but the end result is too many keystrokes, or eaten keystrokes.
Something changed in F28 (or was it F27? recently at any rate) to make
this bug occur way more often than it used to, and we're not quite sure
what, but anyway, the problem is known to the relevant developers so
hopefully might get fixed soonish.
Hardware details aren't needed because it occurs for many developers on
diverse hardware.
Where is this tracked so we can follow along?
There are a bunch of gnome bugs relating to it - try these:
