I'm occasionally seeing an issue with the keyboard in recent builds (no 
problem on 682, I've seen problems on everything since). This is a G1G1 
laptop

once in a while they keyboard returns strange characters. q returns a 
stylalized w, c returns a character that looks like the alternate 
character on the key, etc.

in a possibly unrelated problem, I've also seen strange behavior from the 
gamepad keys, when I press a key (up for example) then press another key 
(down for example) the system acts one keystroke behind what I type. I've 
only noticed this problem at the same time as the first problem, but I 
won't guarentee that they are related.

the trigger for the problem (and the clearing of the problem) may be 
switching to power savings mode, but it is very unpredictable

I happen to be useing the terminal extensively to run alpine, and so when 
I can't compose, delete, or quit it stands out :-)

for a while I thought this was related to loading the web activity, but I 
just experianced a case of this problem after upgrading to build 687, and 
the only thing I've run after the upgrade is a single terminal window.
