[Bug 1849762] [NEW] Keyboard stops working randomly [Deletes typed text automatically]

[Amit Patil]

Public bug reported:

I have been using ubuntu 18.04 on my Lenovo ThinkPad L450 since a while
now, but from last week I am facing one issue with the keyboard. While
typing, randomly typed text get deleted [something like delete key is
getting pressed automatically].

So, I tried connecting external [USB] keyboard [Amazon Basics] which I
have been using since long with same laptop with ubuntu, but the same
problem with USB keyboard as well.

So, I thought something may be wrong with my laptop hardware, so I tried
playing with the keyboard on windows 10 [I have dual boot laptop],
surprisingly everything works fine on windows, laptop keyboard as well
as external USB keyboard both worked fine. Not a single time I faced the
problem that I am facing with ubuntu.

So, I think after some packages updates something weird happening with
my keyboards.
