Weird keyboard/software behaviour (bug?)
I have had so far 5 of my installations do this and have left a message
on the Mandriva Forums. If you find that your keyboard is repeating
characters repeatedly or that your software is behaving abnormally you
may want to try to do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7. This will stop
the repetition of unending characters from the keyboard. There does not
seem to be any fix for this still.
See the discussion on the forum:

Unless someone has a fix for this already!

I see that your forum thread is quite long now. It seems to be an issue
with 2007 only, but 2007.0 or the Spring version? I haven't noticed it
with 2007.0, but it seems to be fairly rare anyway. It may sound silly,
but if there is a bug, I seem to attract them. At the Pokies even, my wife
comes home with something, and I lose the lot.
