keys stuck in flash

Hello fellow archers, I have this little problem with flash (games); basically sometimes keys get stuck and repeat forever, forcing me to restart. I've seen in ubuntu forum one post stating my same problem; there was no solution there, just a hint to kill a process (npviewer) instead of rebooting (and how can i do that when a key is stuck?).
Is it just me or is this a known problem?
I heard something about X loosing the "key up" signal, but beside this I have no clue...
any help?

Re: keys stuck in flash

Nobody? It happened again two days ago, but I wasn't playing flash, I was writing something and I pressed by accident the stamp key two or three times... it got stuck and that was a problem because it kept spawning ksnapshot instances...
has even anyone beside me experienced something like this?

Re: keys stuck in flash

I sometimes have this problem too, but I think that's my crappy keyboard... It is an USB one. When that happens, I use to restart only the X Server and replug the connector in the back of the computer. Maybe it's just a bad connection, but it is so seldom that I can't really make a relation with anything.
