Title:
  recovery menu keyboard freezes / lags

Status in friendly-recovery package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When i select Grub recovery entry, ubuntu starts /lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu
  And it is pretty impossible to do anything with it using keyboard.
  Keyboard keep lagging until you, slowly, patiently, in suffering ... try different combinations of Ctrl-keys to `invisibly close` (i don't remember how this shell feature called. running job in background or something) this script. And then slowly, patiently, in suffering ... write pstree -p , following kill <PID of recovery-mode script> and only then you get your keyboard back.

  I see users suffering from this bug starting from 2010... they think
  it is somehow related to Grub, or different keyboards... but it's just
  poorly written script bug.

  Happy New Year.
