Hi all,
I am experiencing a weird problem. When switching windows in Gnome (wayland) I often get phantom keypresses. It occurs when just clicking a different window, when using Alt+Tab or when coming from the overview (are there other ways?).
It doesn’t always occur, sometimes it works as expected, but when it does it is a major pain. I noticed it by every window your clicking scrolling to the beginning or the end. It stops when I press a key on my keyboard.
In order to diagnoes this I kept xev running, and once the issue appeared again (scrolling to the beginning this time), I switched to its window. This lead to this output:
...

And it just keeps going until I press any key. I have tried updating and rebooting, but it keeps coming back.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have an idea how to debug this?
Cheers!
