           Summary: keypress/keyrelease events lost
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Keyboard
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: aptosca at esseff.org


If I press and hold control_l and then press and hold control_r, no keypress 
event is generated for control_r.  If I then release control_l, a keyrelease 
event is generated and the "state" of the control key is 'not pressed' even 
though I still have control_r pressed.  Happens with alt as well.

Very common (for me) in emacs which uses a lot of modifier keys.  I touch type 
fast enough that It's not uncommon for me to have the paired modifier keys 
down at the same time.

Has been in the server for a while.  Hummingbird seems to have fixed it.  I 
reported it to WRQ long ago and they mentioned that it was in the original 
xorg code.
