When I click in a text field, the number 5 gets typed on its own and it keeps repeating until I press ESC. This also impacts Thunderbird, by auto tagging messages (hot key 5.) This problem is intermittent.

I've changed keyboard to rule out a hardware issue, but the problem still persists.

I am running Lubuntu 16.04, with the latest updates.

I recognize that this question was already raised. Unfortunately, I am new on here, so I could not comment, nor does the original question offer a suitable answer to this issue.

Could this be a bug?

Yes it is a bug and is already reported. It seems it has a fix also but I think you have to upgrade your kernel. Read this for more info. I hope that the Ubuntu 16.04.1 will have the fix included.
