Dell Latitude E7450: repeating keystrokes issue

Question

A brand new Dell Latitude E7450, with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04.2. Sometimes a pressed key repeats until another key is pressed. This is presumably a BIOS bug.

Here's a discussion about it in Dell's community website.

Since Canonical have certified this model, I have opened a launchpad question about it.

Since Dell works closely with Canonical on their products, I was wondering whether Canonical can get a formal reply from Dell about this issue (which apparently affects most if not all Linux distributions).

Answer 1

This was resolved in the latest bios update A04; See release notes here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=MWPFJ
