Keyboard goes crazy!

Hi, I'm looking for Your help!

Some keys (arrows, PgUp, PgDn, Delete, Home, End, PrtSc) on my laptop behave very weirdly. Sometimes they don't even react on press. Otherwise I press a key and it behaves like if I was still holding the key down.

This is what happens when I press right arrow once in the middle of a text:

I haven't use the computer for a while, so I don't remember what the trigger could be. However I upgraded the whole system which doesn't help.

Re: Keyboard goes crazy!

Did this occur pre or post upgrading a system upgrade? Can you reproduce this on a tty?

This occurred before a system upgrade. Upgrading the system didn't help. In BIOS and system console everything works fine.

Then try to remember what got changed or could have possibly changed or this thread will turn into a treasure hunt.

(P.S. from your gif, I see that you're using LXQT, hence this is on Xorg, otherwise we would have needed to guess that too.)

Re: Keyboard goes crazy!

Try using xf86-input-evdev instead of xf86-input-libinput; there was (is?) a bug about event ordering in the latter.
