Comment 10 for bug 190615

Also confirming this is a Compiz issue. Played Guild Wars with Wine for quite some time with different configurations, trying to reproduce this issue. Whenever Compiz was enabled, the 'w' key would become stuck within 10 seconds of playing an arena match. I played for a few hours with Compiz disabled and did not experience the issue. I did not encounter this on my Gutsy install that I used a month or two ago. Only way of stopping the repeating 'w' is alt-sysrq-k or a hard reset (ctrl-alt-del and ctrl-alt-bksp do nothing). I have not seen this issue outside of Wine, but as noted by others, it continues after exiting Wine. This issue seems to be easily reproducible for me, so I can perform extra testing if needed.
