Repeating keyboard keys

[Phil]

Thank you for reading this.

I have Kubuntu 17.04 installed on a MSI laptop. My raspberry pi is my main computer but I sometimes have a need for the laptop. Within the last couple of weeks a fault within Kububtu is causing the keyboard keys to repeat. It's as if the key is stuck down and nothing will correct the situation other than a reboot.

The fault occurs randomly and it's not the same key that repeats. The laptop also has Windows installed and the repeating key problem does not occur under Windows. The laptop seems to run hotter under Kububtu but that's probably unrelated to the repeating keys problem.

I feel that a recent update is the cause of the problem because, as I say, this has only occurred during the past couple of weeks. Is this a known problem with a cure?
