Comment 47 for bug 195982

Hi, I've found this site, and I'll try to add my experience. I hope it's usefull, and not only "noise".

I'm using OpenSuse 10.2 (not ubuntu), kernel 2.6.18.8, x86_64, VMware-server-1.0.4-56528, WindowMaker, xorg-x11-7.2-28.
All this for a while, with no updates.

I have the same issues related here. In my case, "ctrl" and "shift" stops working in linux, but stills working inside VM. "Alt" and "Caps lock" works allways.
As an odd behavior, when I look at OpenOffice's menus, "Ctrl" string was replaced with "???", so I see i.e. "??? - S" for Save.

This problem doesn't happen allways, and is happening more often now, but I repeat that I use this soft for a long time now with no updates.

Logout and login to X solves the problem, didn't tried "setxkbmap", yet. I'll do it next time.

Hope my experience helps to isolate the problem.

Regards,
