Comment 3 for bug 190615

I can confirm this bug too... I thought it was a single-key iussue (and then hardware), but it isn't... In fact playing @ an FPS (and thus using WASD keys) the W key was pretty allways in the 'pressed state'... trying to test the same key using arrow keys, the [UP] key automagically 'binded' to down-state. Also playing on WINE it's the same thing, an I suspect that if we press any key for 10-20 seconds on the desktop the problem will be the same. So I think it's a xserver problem, and a very annoying one...
